Rotary Unions

Rotary Union

Rotary Union is a fluid dynamic sealing device that transports fluid media (such as liquids, gases, steam, etc.) from fixed pipelines to rotating or swinging pipelines and equipment at a certain angle. Its core function is to ensure continuous transmission of the medium while preventing medium leakage, series connection, or external pollution, achieving a closed connection under 360 ° unrestricted rotation.
