Rotary Joint

A rotary joint, also known as a rotary union or swivel joint, is a mechanical device that allows the transfer of fluids (liquids or gases) from a stationary source to a rotating piece of equipment without leakage. These joints are essential in numerous industrial applications where continuous rotation is required while maintaining fluid connectivity.

• Seamless Rotation: Enables the transfer of fluids such as water, steam, hydraulic oil, air, coolant, and various chemicals from a stationary pipe or hose to a rotating shaft or machinery.
• Continuous Operation: Facilitates uninterrupted fluid flow during rotational movement, essential for various processes.
• Electrical Rotary Joints: Some advanced rotary joints also incorporate electrical slip rings or rotary electrical connectors to transmit power, signals, or data between stationary and rotating components.

Applications:

1. Printing and Packaging:
   • Printing Presses: Used in offset and flexographic printing machines to supply inks, coatings, and coolants to rotating printing cylinders.
   • Packaging Machinery: Facilitates the transfer of adhesives, coatings, and cooling fluids in packaging equipment.
