The purpose of rotary joint seal
The purpose of rotary joint seal

The purpose of the seal in the rotary joint is to seal the connection and allow one of the two pipeline sections to rotate relative to the other. At the same time, in order to reduce the pressure drop across the connection. Therefore, it is best to place the rotary joint seal in the enlarged axial portion of the entire fluid bearing channel formed by the pipeline section

Why do high-speed rotary joint need to be sealed with silicon carbide
Why do high-speed rotary joint need to be sealed with silicon carbide

Silicon carbide rings are sintered at high temperatures, and the flat surface is a mirror surface polished with diamond. The characteristics are high hardness, high temperature resistance, and friction resistance. Silicon carbide ring and graphite friction seal, because the powder nature of graphite produces a sealing ring effect. Impurities are difficult to enter the sealing end face
