Rotary

The FO285 (single-pass singlemode) and the FO286 (single-pass multimode) are passive and bidirectional, and allow the transfer of optical signals across rotational interfaces.

The FO242 is a multi-pass, singlemode fiber optic rotary joint (FORJ). It is passive and bidirectional, and allows the transfer of optical signals across a rotational interface on 2 to 6 separate singlemode optical fibers.

The FO242 can be combined with our electrical and / or fluid slip rings giving a single, compact package for optical signals, electrical power and fluid transfer.

The FO197 is a single-pass, multimode fiber optic rotary joint (FORJ). It is passive and bidirectional, and allows the transfer of any type of optical signal across rotational interfaces.

The FO197 fiber optic rotary joint can be combined with our electrical and / or fluid slip rings, providing a single, compact package for optical signals, electrical power and fluid transfer.

The FO190 is a multipass fiber optic rotary joint (FORJ) for 2 to 21 multimode fibers. It is passive and bidirectional and allows the transfer of data, video and other signals on separate fibers across rotational interfaces.

The FO190 can be combined with our electrical and / or fluid slip rings, giving a single, compact package for optical signals, electrical power and fluid transfer.

Focal manufacture and deliver unique FPSO swivels to meet the demanding requirements of offshore operators worldwide.

Ideal for small systems, the FO180 is a compact, rugged unit designed for harsh operating conditions. For the hazardous area environment, the FO180-X is a fully certified flameproof enclosure.

When underwater operational capability is required, the FO180 can also be adapted for use as a fluid filled pressure compensated unit. Available in both standard “L” lengths or custom designs.

The FO176 electrical slip rings are used in marine, industrial and defence applications. Comprised of power and signal electrical passes, the FO176 provides superior performance and reliability in demanding operating environments. Highly configurable, the FO176 can be customized to meet customer specific needs.

The FO159 is the solution for higher current applications. Designed to accommodate up to 660 amps total current, the FO159 can be customized to fit specific requirements. Incorporating both power and signal transfer into a single unit provides the needed versatility for marine, industrial, and defence applications.

Initially to serve in diver life-support unmbilical systems, fluid rotary unions have been diversified to include a broad range of applications. Our fluid rotary unions are currently used around the world to ensure reliable transmission of life support, process, power and control fluids. Currently, fluid rotary unions rated for pressures up to 15,000 psi (1000 bar) are available. Seals are selected based on chemical compatibility, design pressure, design temperature, required service life and acceptable leakage rate.
