    摘要: A rotatable connector for rotatable mounting an optical fiber, comprising a hollow shaft for introducing and fixing an optical fiber mechanically to the hollow shaft, furthermore comprising one or more bearings, whereby, in the case of a two bearing construction, the interior of a first bearing is fixed onto the hollow shaft, as well as the interior of a second bearing being fixed onto the hollow shaft, whereby the second bearing is spaced apart from the first bearing, the exterior of at least one bearing is in contact with the interior of a hollow stationary part, the latter having a thread, which can be screwed together with the counter thread of a cap or cap nut, which may apply an axial clamping force onto the bearings, when tightened.
