Rotary Unions for Hydraulic System Applications

Rotating unions

Rotating unions enable the safe and efficient transfer of various fluids - whether liquid, gaseous or in suspension - between stationary and rotating or swiveling machine parts. They are used wherever a continuous supply of media is required despite relative movement. Thanks to their precise design and high-quality sealing systems, rotary unions ensure smooth operation and a long service life, even under high pressures and speeds. 

Advantages of our slewing rings

Reliable fluid transfer

Enables a continuous supply of liquids, gases or suspensions in rotating systems.

High tightness

Precise sealing systems minimize leaks and ensure safe operation.

Durable and low-maintenance

Robust materials and optimized design ensure a long service life and reduced maintenance requirements.

Flexible use

Suitable for various media, pressure ranges and speeds in a wide range of industrial applications.

Areas of application

Swivel joints are used in numerous applications, especially where the transfer of continuous media is required despite a rotary movement.

Typical areas of application are:

Mobile cranes

Large excavator

Defence

Steel industry

Drilling rigs for natural gas and crude oil

Tunnelling machines

Maritime/ Offshore
