Figure 1.1: Fiber-optic & Electrical Rotary Joint The Doric Fiber-optic & Electrical Rotary Joint (Fig.1.1a) is a low-torque hybrid rotary joint that allows transmits rota- tion insensitive electrical and optical signals. It is composed of a Stator, which stays immobile, and a Rotor that moves (Fig.
1.3 Rotary Joint Harwin 12/Omnetics PZN12 Adapter Kit To integrate the rotary joint within electrophysiology systems that use Omnetics PZN-12 connectors, an adapter kit can be provided. These elements allow a Harwin-connectorized rotary joint to serve as a rotary joint for Omnetics con- nectorized systems.
Operations Guide 2.1 Rotary Joint Holders 2.1.1 Holder FRJ large The Holder FRJ large allows fixed usage of the rotary joint. Simply thread the rotary joint into the holder as shown in Fig. 2.1. Ensure the stability of the joint in the thread to avoid slippage during use. The holder can then be secured in a setup using 1/4 (or M6) screws and nuts.

2.1.3 Horizontal Cable Holder This holder is used to facilitate rotation by increasing the torque provided by the cable. When using the Horizontal Cable Holder: 1. Slide the horizontal cable holder into the cable adapter, with its clamp facing down (Fig. 2.3a). The rod is held in place using a 2-56 set-screw on the underside of the adapter.
2.2 Connectors The Fiber-optic & Electrical Rotary Joint has two different types of connectors, optical and electrical. There are two connectors for each type, requiring a signal cable/patch cord (connecting to a console, computer or other signaling de- vice) and a subject cable/patch cord (connecting to the experimental subject or device).

2.2.2 FC Connector Installation 1. Clean the optical fiber connector before insertion. Use isopropanol and a lint-free wipe. 2. With an FC connector, the connector key must be oriented to enter within the receptacle slot to ensure proper connection (Fig. 2.5). Figure 2.5: FC connector, Fiber Installation To reduce the risk of eye injury, it is sound practice to NOT CONNECT/DISCONNECT OPTICAL FIBERS when the light source is turned on.
