A Brief Discussion on JINPAT Fiber Optic Slip Ring Series

Fiber optic slip rings use optical fibers as data transmission media to solve the problem of large capacity data and signal transmission between rotating connection system components. Fiber optic slip ring (also known as fiber optic rotary connector) is a device that enables optical signal transmission between the rotor and the stator. With the rapid development of information technology, information systems have put forward higher and more requirements for data transmission speed and bandwidth. Traditional electric slip rings can no longer meet people's needs for slip ring applications. Therefore, JINPAT has invested a lot of funds and manpower in the research and development of fiber optic slip rings.

The fiber slip ring independently developed by JINPAT has a wide range of applications, including oil platforms, industrial robots, radar systems, medical CT, and other fields. Compared with ordinary electric slip rings, fiber optic slip rings have the advantages of long lifespan, fast rotation speed, and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference. There are various methods for its classification. According to the number of transmission channels, it can be divided into single channel and multi-channel; According to the type of optical fiber used, it can be divided into three categories: single-mode, multi-mode, and plastic fiber slip rings.

Single channel fiber optic rotary connectors have many advantages such as simple structure, small size, and low cost, and are currently widely used fiber slip rings. Single channel fiber optic rotary connectors can be divided into four forms according to different coupling methods: direct coupling, double lens beam expansion coupling, single lens coupling, and fiber collimator beam expansion coupling. Among these four fiber coupling methods, the currently commonly used coupling method by JINPAT is to use a fiber collimator to couple optical signals, that is, double lens beam expansion coupling.

Compared to a single channel, multi-channel fiber optic rotary connectors can transmit a larger amount of signals. Common multi-channel options include two channels and four channels with ten channels. The fiber slip ring developed by JINPAT can have up to 32 channels, which can meet higher signal transmission requirements. And it has strong stability and good safety, with small eccentricity and shaking of the rotor and stator, low friction torque, and easy maintenance, thus ensuring the ultra long service life of the slip ring. The fiber optic slip ring developed by JINPAT can operate normally even at 5000 meters underwater, low temperature, and high pressure, without being affected by electromagnetic interference. The transmission distance can reach hundreds of kilometers, and the speed can reach over 100 million revolutions per minute.
