Fiber optic slip rings, also known as fiber optic rotary connectors, leverage optical fibers as the medium for data transmission, addressing the challenge of transmitting large volumes of data and signals between rotating components in connection systems. As information technology advances rapidly, the demand for higher data transmission speeds and bandwidth has outgrown the capabilities of traditional electric slip rings. Recognizing this, JINPAT has made significant investments in the research and development of fiber optic slip rings to meet these evolving needs.

JINPAT's independently developed fiber optic slip rings find application in diverse fields, including oil platforms, industrial robotics, radar systems, and medical CT scanners. These slip rings offer several advantages over conventional electric slip rings, such as a longer lifespan, faster rotation speeds, and enhanced resistance to electromagnetic interference. Fiber optic slip rings can be classified in various ways, including by the number of transmission channels (single or multi-channel) and by the type of optical fiber used (single-mode, multi-mode, or plastic).

Single-channel fiber optic rotary connectors are widely used due to their simple structure, compact size, and cost-effectiveness. These connectors can be categorized into four types based on different coupling methods: direct coupling, double lens beam expansion coupling, single lens coupling, and fiber collimator beam expansion coupling. Among these, JINPAT commonly employs the fiber collimator method, specifically double lens beam expansion coupling, for its superior performance in optical signal transmission.

In contrast, multi-channel fiber optic rotary connectors are designed to handle larger volumes of signal transmission. JINPAT offers multi-channel options ranging from two to 32 channels, catering to higher signal transmission requirements. These multi-channel slip rings are known for their strong stability, safety, low friction torque, and ease of maintenance, ensuring an ultra-long service life. Remarkably, JINPAT's fiber optic slip rings can function reliably even in extreme conditions, such as 5000 meters underwater, under low temperatures, and high pressure, all while remaining immune to electromagnetic interference. They boast transmission distances of up to hundreds of kilometers and speeds exceeding 100 million revolutions per minute.

As a manufacturer with research and independent production capabilities, JINPAT is committed to advancing the development of fiber optic slip rings. The company aims to continue providing cutting-edge slip ring solutions across a broader range of industries.
