DRIVING FACTORS

Usage of Rotary Joints in Mechanical Industry to Amplify Market Growth

Optic rotary joints are used in mainly in the mechanical sector for various purposes. They are used in radar pedestals, armored vehicles, wind turbines, electro-optic sensors for handling the optic signal. These optical signals are always parallel to slip rings that are used for handling electrical signals and power.

There are different kinds of rotary joints available for different purposes. Single or multichannel fiber optical rotary joints are cost and size efficient. When there are more than two fibers present in a system they are multiplexed with the help of single or multichannel FORJs. Single or multimode joints enable the propagation of optical energy via single or multiple modes. These factors are facilitating market growth.

Desirable Features of Fiber Optical Rotary Joints to Develop Market Growth

These devices are used in several industries because of their desirable features. Rotary joints are strong and sturdy due to which they can be used in harsh environments. They are also ruggedized to resist any damage or wear and tear.

They are available in compact sizes which makes them easy to work with. They can be customized according to need and requirements. Many custom designs are available. Several configuration options are available. This increases the ease of using fiber optical rotary joints. 

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Poor Optical Design of Rotary Joints to Decrease Market Growth

The major disadvantage of using this device is the poor design. Bad design results in improper alignment. Improper alignment of a fiber optical rotary joint can give rise to several other problems. The key optical performance parameters get affected due to poor design.

Losses at very high wavelengths, and high polarization dependent loss, polarization mode dispersion and high crosstalk are some of the other problems of inadequate alignment of rotary joints. This can severely hamper the fiber optic rotary joints market growth.
