They are commonly used in military and commercial radars, mobile terrestrial radio communications, and missile defense applications.
Among the most recent products introduced by Fairview Microwave are single-channel/single-axis rotary swivels, which offer a perfect solution for antenna characterization by measuring antenna radiation patterns. This line of single-channel/single-axis rotary swivels includes units with two female SMA connectors: one with a three-hole flanged SMA connector for mounting on printed circuit boards, and the other with a female SMA connector. We also provide three-channel/single-axis rotary swivels, commonly called "rotary swivels." This line includes configurations with male-to-female SMA, male-to-male SMA, and female-to-female SMA connectors. These single-channel/multi-axis rotary unions are designed for applications where linear and rotary motion can cause unnecessary stress to interconnecting coaxial cables and connectors.
“Fairview Microwave's Rotary RF Unions are valuable accessories for any antenna test site, where cables can easily become twisted and damaged due to continuous rotation,” says Greg Arnold, Marketing Manager at Fairview Microwave.
