• Rotary joints or rotary unions are rotary sealing
  devices that connect rotating equipment to fixed
  pipes so that transfer of water, coolant, steam,
  thermal oil, hydraulic oil, or any other media
  can be achieved.
• Steam rotary union manufacturers in india offer
  rotary joints that can be designed with multiple
  passes, and they can handle multiple media types
  simultaneously.
• A soft seal like an O-ring in these cases is used
  for preventing fluids from passing to another
  passage. These soft seals multi-pass rotary heads
  are used in a wide range of industrial
  applications.

• Some examples of these applications, are oils and
  gases, robotics, medical devices, beverages,
  aerospace, and so on.
• Sometimes, in some applications these rotary
  joints are equipped with slip rings to transfer
  hydraulic powers and electrical signals.
• It is essential to pick the right rotary union
  manufacturer by checking the quality and
  experience first. These rotary unions
  manufacturers guarantee quality products that not
  only fulfill but surpass the needs and
  expectations of the customer.

What is a Rotary Steam Joint and how does it work?

• Conventional steam rotary joints have a
  spring-loaded mechanical seal, which prevents the
  liquid or gaseous medium from dispersing into the
  atmosphere.
• Spring pressure is used for achieving tightness
  in applications where there is low pressure or
  vacuum. In a typical rotary joint, the carbon is
  spring-pressed into a seal, silicon carbide, or
  any other hard metal.
• Thus, you achieve a good, basic mechanical seal
  structure and a dynamic seal.
• A balanced mechanical seal structure is generally
  used in rotary heads. The Balanced mechanical
  seal technology relies on the concept of
  optimizing the spring pressure to create a
  positive pressure inside the rotary head.

• The working pressure of the fluid does not have
  any little effect on the spring pressure. A
  balanced mechanical seal is a flat-faced seal.
  Its swivel heads are supported by ball bearings.
• The quality of a rotary joint depends on the
  quality of the mechanical seal inside. If the
  quality is poor, then it wears out faster. Thus,
  you will need more maintenance and downtime.
  Also, you will have to spend more money on repair
  costs. With higher repair and maintenance,
  downtime of the machine increases.
• When a seal fails, the efficiency of the cooling
  or heating process drops when the fluid escapes.
• Considering all these factors, the actual
  replacement of the mechanical seal or rotary
  joint should be done after considering all
  aspects.
