Rotating Joint

Dann Hydraulic is a professional Rotating Joint manufacturer in China, specializing in international brand replacement solutions for rotary unions, rotary joints, and rotating fluid transfer systems.

With years of experience in rotary sealing technology and precision machining, we provide reliable alternatives to global brands such as Deublin, Maier, Rotoflux, Rix, Foremost, and Kadant.

A Rotating Joint, also known as a Rotary Union, Rotary Joint, Rotating Union, or Rotary Transfer Joint, is a critical mechanical component that allows fluids or gases to transfer between stationary and rotating equipment while maintaining continuous sealing performance.

Our rotating joint solutions are widely used in:

  • CNC machine tools
  • Steel mills
  • Continuous casting machines
  • Paper manufacturing equipment
  • Textile machinery
  • Printing machines
  • Rubber and tire equipment
  • Hydraulic rotating systems
  • Industrial automation equipment

As a manufacturer rather than a trading company, Dann Hydraulic focuses on solving real industrial problems, including:

  • Rotary joint leakage
  • Seal wear failure
  • Short service life
  • Imported spare parts cost
  • Long delivery time

We provide engineering-based replacement solutions designed according to actual working conditions.


What Is a Rotating Joint?

A Rotating Joint is a precision mechanical device designed to transfer fluid, gas, or process media from a stationary supply source to a rotating component.

During machine operation, one side of the rotating joint remains fixed while the rotor rotates together with the equipment shaft.

The internal sealing system prevents leakage and allows continuous media transfer.

Common media include:

  • Cooling water
  • Cutting coolant
  • Hydraulic oil
  • Compressed air
  • Steam
  • Thermal oil
  • Vacuum
  • Process fluids

In industrial applications, rotating joints are essential for maintaining:

  • Continuous production
  • Equipment reliability
  • Temperature control
  • Hydraulic operation
  • Automation efficiency

Rotating Joint vs Rotary Union

In the industrial market, Rotating Joint and Rotary Union are often used interchangeably.

Different industries may use different terminology:

Term Common Application
Rotary Union CNC, coolant, industrial equipment
Rotating Joint Engineering documents, machinery manufacturers
Rotary Joint General industrial applications
Rotating Union International industrial market
Rotary Transfer Joint Automation and special machinery
Swivel Joint Hydraulic and mechanical rotation

For industrial fluid transfer applications, all these products share the same core function:

Allowing fluid transfer while enabling continuous rotation.
