Rotating union for the medium water
Rotating unions
What is a rotating union?
Rotary feedthroughs, also known as rotating unions, are sealed swivel joints for rotating shafts or hoses that perform rotating or swiveling movements. This is always used when a rotating object is under a particularly high load and needs to be cooled by an externally introduced medium. If the cooling medium is water, a rotating union must be made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, titanium, brass or bronze. Thanks to technical optimization, our rotating unions have low friction losses and use the cooling medium, e.g. water, very effectively.
Not all water is the same
The water used differs greatly depending on the type of application. This results in different requirements for the rotating union. For example, chemically mixed water, which is used for cleaning in the previous work step, can be used as a coolant in special rotating unions. Another example would be the use of tempered water to ensure a constant temperature on the material. These requirements are particularly common in paper mills (drum winding) and printing plants.
