What Are Rotary Unions and How They Function

Rotary unions are also called rotating unions, rotary joints, rotary swivels and rotary coupling. They are precision mechanical components that serve to transmit fluid and gas from the stationary side to the rotating side. To maintain a smooth and lasting 360-degree rotation, rotary joints are expected to adopt upper-class material. And to ensure a reliable transmission and no leakage of the medium being transmitted, the manufacturer has to put great effort in handling the sealing.

Rotary unions allow pass of fluid and gas like coolant, fuel, beverage, Nitrogen and air, etc. in a system. They are broadly applied in industry production like packing industry, bottle-filling industry and other applications that demand rotary transmission of fluid and gas. And to match up the needs of modern intelligent production, a rotary union tend to be integrated with an electrical slip ring. The integrated solutions allow the rotary part to follow industrial signals.

JINPAT Electronics is an expert in slip rings and rotary joints. JINPAT has presented various types of slip rings and rotary joints to clients around the world. JINPAT rotary unions are coded as LPPL series. Clients can order rotary joints with specific channel diameter. Standard connectors are M5 connectors. The swivel joints endure pressure from -100kPa to 1.0MPa. JINPAT rotary unions feature super low torque and low friction. Such characteristics mean our swivel joints can rotate smoothly while embracing a long life span. JINPAT adopts special sealing material and technique, and therefore ensure no leakage while transmitting fluid and gas.

As for the integrate solutions that allow mixed transmission of power, signals, fluid and gas, JINPAT Electronics also has mature models. Our products are well-designed and exquisitely produce. You can contact JINPAT for more information of our products.
