Features
- Passive bidirectional optical transmission
- Low optical insertion loss for common sensor wavelengths
- High return loss (i.e. low back reflection) available
- Provides rotary coupling for either a singlemode or multimode fiber link with the same footprint
- Can be combined with Moog electrical slip rings and fluid unions
- Can be integrated into existing slip ring designs
- Rugged design with IP 67 rating, MIL-STD-167-1 Ships vibration and MIL-STD-810 functional shock (40g)
- Bulkhead connector and Pigtailed versions available
Benefits
- Low back reflection and insertion losses allow for FORJ integration with very sensitive optical sensor measurement systems
- Environmentally sealed design allows for long-life in rugged installations and reduces maintenance costs
- Supports either singlemode or multimode fiber, allowing future upgrade without modifying the surrounding mechanical infrastructure
Typical Applications
- Winches and cable reels for optical sensor systems
- Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS)
- Temperature Point Sensor Arrays (TPSA) using Fiber Bragg Gratin (FBG)
- Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)
- Pitch control data and/or fiber-optic blade sensing for wind turbines
- Sensor systems for helicopter rotor blades
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
