Key Features

Closed-Seal Design for Automated and High-Precision Systems

This rotary union series adopts a fully enclosed sealing structure, making it particularly suitable for:

  • Automated production lines

  • CNC machine tools

  • High-speed spindles

  • Deep-hole drilling (gun drilling) machines

The closed-seal design prevents external contamination and ensures clean, reliable operation in precision machining environments.

Full-Flow Internal Design

The internal full-flow passage design allows fluid to pass smoothly through the rotary union without obstruction. As a result, the system:

  • Prevents clogging caused by chips, debris, or burrs

  • Maintains consistent flow rate

  • Reduces pressure loss

This design is especially beneficial for coolant and cutting fluid delivery systems in machine tools.

Bearing-Supported Structure for Easy Installation

The rotary union features a bearing-supported construction with a threaded rotor, which simplifies installation and alignment. This structure:

  • Reduces installation time

  • Ensures accurate concentricity with the spindle

  • Enhances operational stability during continuous rotation

High-quality deep-groove radial ball bearings support smooth rotation and reliable performance at high speeds.

Enhanced Bearing Protection System

To protect internal bearings under harsh operating conditions, the rotary union incorporates:

  • Labyrinth sealing design

  • Large leakage ports to divert fluid away from bearings

This dual protection system prevents coolant or oil ingress into the bearing chamber, significantly extending bearing service life and improving long-term reliability.

Balanced Mechanical Seal with Silicon Carbide

The rotary union uses a balanced mechanical seal made of silicon carbide, providing:

  • Excellent wear resistance

  • Stable sealing under pressure fluctuations

  • Long service life even in severe working environments

This sealing technology ensures consistent performance in high-speed and high-load applications.

Corrosion-Resistant and High-Pressure Capable Design

Key aluminum components undergo anti-corrosion anodizing treatment, enhancing resistance to coolant, cutting fluids, and industrial environments.

The rotary union can be equipped with high-pressure rotary seals, allowing operating pressures of up to 12 MPa, making it suitable for demanding coolant and lubrication systems.

Applications We Serve

We design and manufacture our replacement rotary unions to operate consistently in high-load, high-duty environments traditionally served by Rotoflux:

  • CNC Machine Tools: High-speed spindle coolant delivery (comparable to Rotoflux M and T series).
  • Plastic & Rubber: Heating and cooling of extrusion rolls and calenders.
  • Paper & Printing: Reliable media transfer for drying cylinders and ink rollers.
  • Steel Industry: Heavy-duty unions for continuous casting and coilers.

Quality You Can Trust

Every unit undergoes a 100% pressure and leakage test before leaving our facility. We understand that downtime is expensive, which is why our products are built to the same rigorous standards as European counterparts but at a fraction of the cost.

Pro-Tip: Don’t just take our word for it. Our rotary joints are currently used by Tier-1 manufacturers across Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America as the primary alternative to Rotoflux, Deublin, and Johnson-Fluiten.

FAQs

Q: Can the Rotoflux rotary union be used for both hydraulic and pneumatic systems?
