Fiber Optic Rotary Coupler

Fiber Optic Rotary Couplers are devices used in fiber optic systems to allow the transmission of optical signals between two rotating parts. They are specifically designed to maintain a continuous optical connection while allowing rotational movement.

These couplers are part of the supply class Fiber Optic Interconnectors, which refers to the various types of connectors used to join fiber optic cables together. The Fiber Optic Interconnectors supply class falls under the larger supply group called Fiber Optics Materials, Components, Assemblies, and Accessories.

Fiber Optic Rotary Couplers are commonly used in applications where there is a need for continuous rotation, such as in rotary joints for radar systems, optical sensors, and medical equipment. They provide a reliable and efficient means of transmitting optical signals without interruption, even during rotational movement.

These couplers are designed to minimize signal loss and maintain high optical performance. They typically consist of precision-machined components, including fiber optic connectors, lenses, and rotating mechanisms. The rotating mechanism allows the coupler to rotate while maintaining a stable optical connection.

Fiber Optic Rotary Couplers are available in various configurations, including single-channel and multi-channel options. They can be customized to meet specific application requirements, such as wavelength compatibility, insertion loss, and rotational speed.

Overall, Fiber Optic Rotary Couplers play a crucial role in enabling the transmission of optical signals in rotating systems, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted communication in various industries and applications.
