• Rotary joints are also known as rotating unions
  or rotative joints. They provide a mechanical
  seal between the stationary supply pipe and a
  rotating cylinder or drum. Thus, the main purpose
  of it is to allow the flow of heat transfer media
  in and out of the roller rotary.
• Typically, water, steam, hydraulic oil, thermal
  oil, or coolant is used as heat transfer media.
• In mechanical applications, rotary joints can be
  designed with multiple passages. They can manage
  several media types at a time. To stop the
  crossover of fluids, soft seals, like an O-ring
  is used.
• Soft seal multi-passage rotary unions are used in
  a variety of industries and applications, e.g.,
  oil and gas, food and beverages, robotics,
  medical applications, and so on.
• To transmit hydraulic power or electrical
  signals, the rotary joints are fitted with slip
  rings.

• With conventional rotary joints, a spring-loaded
  seal is used to keep the fluid or gas medium from
  leaking into the surroundings. The spring is a
  very critical part of a steam rotary joint. It
  maintains the initial internal seating. Also, the
  rotary joint gets pressure-sealed once in
  operation.
• Vacuum services or low-pressure services rely on
  the spring force because it creates the seal.
• In conventional rotary joints, either there is an
  external support of mounting brackets or rods. In
  some cases, they are self-supported with the help
  of an internal carbon guide.

Applications of rotating joints

• Rotating joints are very common in any industrial
  environment. They are very useful elements for
  all types of fluids. They are useful in varied
  pressure situations.
• Rotary joints for water, for example, can work in
  a variety of pressure situations. The degree of
  precision of its mechanical elements is marked by
  the type of application.
• As far as applications are concerned, these
  joints are very useful in industrial applications
  like the paper industry, the cardboard industry,
  oil and refineries, food and beverages, the
  chemical industry, and so on.

• Balanced seal rotary unions are generally used
  with fluid services like coolant or water.
  However, they can be used with steam and other
  gases as well.
• This technology relies on the optimization of
  spring pressure to create a positive seal within
  the rotary union.
• There is very little operating pressure on the
  media and less effect on the seal load. In
  balanced seals, there are typically flat face
  seals, and rotary joints are supported by ball
  bearings. Thus, rotary joints are one of the most
  useful components.
