Rotary joints, also known as rotary unions, are mechanical components that allow the transfer of fluids—such as water, steam, oil, or compressed air—between a stationary supply and a rotating part. They are essential in industrial applications where fluid needs to move through systems that rotate continuously. Rotary joints ensure safe and efficient operation in equipment like printing presses, plastic processing lines, paper machines, and food production systems. With a wide range of designs available, rotary joints can be tailored to specific needs based on the type of media, pressure, temperature, and rotational speed.
