A set of rotary joint components containing stationary part(s) and rotatable part(s) repositionable with respect to each other. The stationary part has a stationary base with means for holding a stationary carrier into a circular-shaped form. The stationary carrier holds at least a stationary transmitter coupler of a contactless data link, such as a strip line. The stationary carrier is made of sheet metal or plastic material, and therefore can easily be prepared on a plane work bench before it is bent to a ring shape.

Rotary joint having a capacitive data link with modular support

A rotary joint has a body with an even number of body segments. Each body segment holds one transmission line with one RF signal connector at one end and a termination at the opposing end. The body segments are oriented such, that alternatingly in neighboring segments two RF signal connectors or two terminations are next to each other. Two neighboring body segments are connected by a carrier plate. The carrier plate holds an electronic housing where two RF signal connectors are located next to each other, and provides a connection to the RF signal connectors.
