Hydraulic rotary unions (also called hydraulic rotary joints or hydraulic swivels) are mechanical devices designed to transfer hydraulic fluid from a stationary source to a rotating component. They ensure continuous power transmission in hydraulic systems without leakage, pressure loss, or contamination.
These precision-engineered components are essential for industrial machinery, construction equipment, metal forming systems, and marine applications where fluid circulation and rotation must occur simultaneously.
To suit different system needs, hydraulic rotary unions are available in multiple configurations:
Designed for one fluid channel.
Common in compact or low-pressure systems.
Support simultaneous transfer of multiple media (oil, coolant, air).
Ideal for automation equipment, robotics, and machine tools.
Built with precision bearings for high rotational speeds.
Frequently used in spindle and CNC applications.
Capable of handling pressures above 400 bar.
Suitable for hydraulic presses and heavy-duty construction machinery.
The hydraulic rotary union is widely used across industries, including:
Construction & Mining Equipment (Excavators, cranes, drilling rigs)
Machine Tools (CNC spindles, rotary indexing tables)
Wind Turbines and Offshore Systems
Injection Molding Machines
Marine and Offshore Hydraulics
Steel and Paper Mills
Each application demands durable construction, superior sealing materials, and precise alignment to prevent wear and leakage.
Hydraulic Rotary Union is the cornerstone of modern hydraulic motion systems.
From high-speed CNC machinery to heavy-duty construction equipment, their precise fluid transfer capabilities make them indispensable for efficient and reliable operation.
Selecting the right rotary union tailored to your operating environment can maximize performance, reduce downtime, and extend machinery lifespan.
Introduction: The Lifeline of Modern Hydraulic Equipment In the realm of modern heavy engineering and construction machinery, hydraulic rotary unions play an indispensable role as the core components of motion and fluid transmission. Often referred to as the “lifeline” of hydraulic systems, they ensure smooth and reliable operation across a vast range of applications—from excavators…
In today’s industrial landscape, H Series Hydraulic Rotary Unions are the power source behind heavy machinery, robotics, and advanced automation equipment. Central to these systems is the hydraulic rotary joint, the critical component responsible for transferring pressurized fluid from a stationary source to a rotating part. However, complex, multi-functional machinery often requires intricate fluid paths,…
In any sophisticated hydraulic system, the steady, rhythmic hum of operation is the sound of productivity. That is, until it’s interrupted by the tell-tale drip…drip…drip of a hydraulic fluid leak. One of the most common, yet critical, sources of such a problem is the rotary union. Hydraulic rotary union leaks are more than just a…
