Rotary joints – sensor data transmission in 360° rotating waveguides at Science and Physics Research Centers
Regarding rotary joints, SPINNER has been setting new standards world-wide since the early sixties. The companies' innovations in this field together with the technical know-how and top-quality claim has allowed SPINNER to become one of the leading rotary joint manufacturers.
There is a growing need for faster, more accurate data and power transmission via rotary joints for many applications at science and research centers.
- Contactless rotating interfaces are based on inductive and capacitive coupling. This means contactless transmission of power up to 6 kW and data rates up to 1 Gbit/s for rotating application
- Transfer of data and power in real-time with Ethernet technology.
- Both off-the-shelf and customized combinations of fiber-optic and RF rotary joints for offshore and subsea applications.
- Unidirectional or bi-directional communication. Often coaxial or waveguide rotary joints or combinations of these two versions are employed.
- Even under the extreme conditions like in outer space, a rotary joint must ensure absolutely reliable signal transmission over the whole service life. In addition, the lowest possible weight and assembly space requirement plays a key role.
The special benefits of SPINNER rotary joints include their compact design, excellent VSWR and low attenuation loss, low variation of transmission properties during rotation, and high crosstalk attenuation between the individual channels over the whole frequency range. SPINNER is able to develop and deliver any kind of rotary joint combination you may need.

SPINNER RF components meet highest standards
SPINNER applies extremely high standards with regard to quality, engineering, materials and manufacturing e.g. DIN EN ISO 9001 - Quality Management, DIN EN ISO 14001 - Environmental Management and ISO 50001:2011 - Energy Management. This enables us to offer rotary joints with the best possible performance and lowest possible intermodulation (Low PIM), even under the harshest environmental conditions.
