D Series Rotary Union

The D Series Rotary Union is a type of rotating joint that allows the transfer of fluid (such as water, oil, air, or coolant) from a stationary supply to a rotating machine component. The “D Series” typically features a balanced mechanical seal design, compact housing, and single or dual-flow passage options. The unions feature a dual flow independent design, allowing two different fluids or gases to rotate simultaneously at different pressures without mixing. This capability is critical in complex hydraulic, pneumatic, and process systems where multiple media must be transferred through a rotating interface safely and efficiently. Engineered to handle temperatures up to 100–110°C and pressures up to 70 bar, this rotary union series is ideal for applications requiring reliable dual-flow independent fluid passage with minimal cross-contamination.

Key Features & Specifications
