About rotary unions
Definition and function
Rotary unions are used to transfer liquids or gases into or out of rotating or swiveling assemblies of machines or systems. Rotary unions are necessary in various industries to transfer media such as oil, water, grease, emulsions, as well as air/compressed air, gas, or vacuum between stationary and rotating machine parts. They enable the sealed transfer of a fluid from stationary supply lines into/out of or through a rotating machine element.
Types of rotary unions
Multi-way rotary unions for liquids
Multi-way Rotary unions can be used for the supply and discharge of media in virtually any number of channels.
The media channels are strictly sealed off from each other and can be subjected to different pressures and media independently of each other.
Multi-way rotary unions are suitable for various applications, such as the use of media like water, hydraulic oil, air, or vacuum. They can also transfer media such as steam.
