The Model 200 is a multi-pass Fluid Rotary Union (FRU) combined with an Electric Slip Ring (ESR) and can also include a Moog Fiber Optic Rotary Joint (FORJ). Moog electrical optical fluid swivels have served the marine industry for over 30 years.

The FRU portion is typically configured with up to 13 passes, inter-port mixing is prevented through the use of double seals and an intermediate vent between passes. It is available in several standard port configurations or types. It is available with the standard seal technology or with a new low leakage seal option. In its standard configuration, it is rated for 1000 psi [68 bar] at 10 rpm continuous service and up to 30 rpm intermittent service.

The ESR portion is comprised of power and signal electrical passes. Ideal for small systems, it is a compact, rugged unit designed for harsh operating conditions. For the hazardous area environment, there is an option for a fully certified flame-proof enclosure. When underwater operational capability is required, the it can also be adapted for use as a fluid-filled pressure compensated unit.

The FORJ portion can be configured with any of Moog’s single channel or multi-channel singlemode or multimode catalog fiber joints. Our FORJs are capable of working with all fiber types, sizes and the wavelengths and meet insertion loss performance typical of customer requirements. In addition to FORJs operating at standard wavelengths for data communication, FORJ versions have been developed to work with optical sensors with enhanced optical loss and return loss over a broader range of wavelengths. Moog has been the leading supplier of FORJ products to the marine industry for over 20 years with many thousands of products delivered to the oil and gas markets. For the oilfield market, products are designed to be robust and weatherproof with all models being shock and vibration tested and options for operating fluid-filled and pressure compensated.
