BGB Engineering Ltd introduces the new Axial Multimode Optilinc system. Optilinc is the first of the new generation of contactless slip rings to be produced by the company.
The Fibre Optic Rotary Joint (FORJ) is developed for high speed data-transfer on many applications, primarily designed for the wind turbine industry.? Constructed in stainless steel, Optilinc protects the unit from dust and water ingress to IP65 and is not influenced by vibration, humidity, heat, magnetism or other typical slip ring disturbances.? The unit can transfer data at a rate up to 1Gb/s and can be offered with media converters to suit protocols and requirements. The Optilinc system has been developed in BGB's R&D Lab and is now being implemented in the design stage of wind turbine manufacturers.? BGB have worked in collaboration with the Optical Physicists to develop a Fibre Optic Rotary Joint.
