The classification of swivel unions includes: water type, steam type, oil type, pneumatic type, special medium type, and so on

Swivel Union

Swivel Unions is a fluid dynamic sealing connection device, whose core function is to transport media (liquids, gases, steam, etc.) from fixed pipelines to equipment that rotates or swings continuously 360 ° without leakage. ‌‌

Machine tool spindle center water outlet  rotary joints

Machine tool spindle center water outlet rotary joints

The high-speed rotating joint at the center of the machine tool spindle is a key sealing device that accurately delivers static high-pressure coolant to the interior of the high-speed rotating spindle. Its core function is to achieve fluid leak free transmission at high speeds, directly cooling the cutting point of the tool. ‌‌

Rotating joints for vertical CNC hinge honing machine

Rotating joints for vertical CNC hinge honing machine

As a key equipment for precision hole machining, the core function of the vertical CNC hinge honing machine is to perform high-precision size correction and surface smoothness improvement on the inner hole of the workpiece through the composite action of rotation and reciprocating motion

High speed and high-pressure vertical car fixture

High speed and high-pressure vertical car fixture

CNC vertical lathes, the clamping and releasing of automated fixtures usually rely on hydraulic or pneumatic system drive. Due to the need for high-speed rotation of the spindle while the external pipeline remains stationary, reliable transmission of fluid medium from the stationary part to the rotating part must be achieved through a rotary joint

Oil cylinder matching rotary joint multi station rotary joints

Oil cylinder matching rotary joint multi station rotary joints

In industrial automation, heavy machinery, and precision machining equipment, hydraulic systems often need to achieve 360 ° continuous rotation or reciprocating swing, while delivering high-pressure fluid to multiple actuators (such as hydraulic cylinders). Traditional single channel rotary joints cannot meet the complex motion requirements

Vertical automatic fixture high-speed rotating joints

Vertical automatic fixture high-speed rotating joints

Due to the high rotational speed of the vertical spindle and the need to simultaneously transmit hydraulic oil (for clamping/loosening) and compressed air (for blowing chips or auxiliary actions), high-speed and high-pressure multi-path rotary joints have become key sealing devices for connecting fixed pipeline rotating components
