Stop Costly Downtime and Protect Your Investment

In the world of precision machining, unplanned downtime is the enemy of profitability. A failed rotary union doesn’t just halt production; it poses a catastrophic risk to the spindle bearings. Coolant leakage into the spindle is a leading cause of premature failure, leading to repairs that can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take a machine out of commission for weeks.

This alternative to the Deublin 1129-016-301 is engineered with the primary goal of preventing such failures. The heart of its reliability lies in the advanced seal technology.

“Pop-Off” Technology: The End of Dry-Run Failures

A common scenario in CNC machining is the spindle rotating without coolant flow, such as during tool changes or air-blast cycles. With conventional rotary unions, this “dry running” causes the seal faces to heat up, wear rapidly, and ultimately fail. Our union incorporates “Pop-Off” technology, where the precision-lapped seal faces automatically separate by a microscopic gap when media pressure is absent. This eliminates all contact and friction, allowing for unlimited dry running without any seal wear. When coolant or air pressure is reintroduced, the seals instantly re-engage to provide a perfect, leak-proof seal. This feature alone drastically extends the service life beyond that of standard designs.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Seals: The Gold Standard for Demanding Conditions

The choice of seal material is critical. While lesser alternatives may use carbon-graphite, this union employs a matched set of Silicon Carbide seal faces. SiC is one of the hardest and most durable materials available, offering unparalleled advantages:

• Superior Wear Resistance: Ideal for abrasive media or coolant with fine particles.
• High Thermal Conductivity: Effectively dissipates heat generated at high speeds, preventing seal degradation.
• Excellent Chemical Resistance: Withstands a wide range of synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and MQL lubricants.
• Low Friction: The micro-lapped surfaces ensure a low coefficient of friction, reducing torque and heat generation.

This combination of a bearingless design and premium sealing technology ensures that your operations remain clean, efficient, and free from the costly consequences of coolant leakage.

Applications

This high-performance rotary union is the ideal solution for a wide range of industries and demanding CNC applications where through-spindle fluid delivery is essential:

• Automotive Manufacturing: High-volume production of engine blocks, transmission components, and aluminum wheels.
• Aerospace Industry: Machining of complex components from titanium, Inconel, and high-strength aluminum alloys.
• Mold and Die Making: Deep-cavity milling and precision finishing where efficient chip removal is critical.
• Medical Device Manufacturing: Precision machining of surgical implants and instruments.
• General Machining and Job Shops: Any application utilizing CNC milling centers, lathes with live tooling, and horizontal machining centers that require high-pressure through-spindle coolant.

Whether you are performing deep-hole drilling, high-speed pocketing, or aggressive roughing, this rotary union provides the reliable coolant delivery needed to push your machines to their limits, reducing cycle times and improving part quality.
