When we talk about performance in rotary joints, alignment plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal service life and performance While our rotary joints are designed to tolerate some degree of misalignment, taking the necessary steps to achieve better alignment can significantly enhance their longevity. In this article, we will delve into the importance of alignment and provide key insights to help you achieve the longest possible service life for your rotary joints.     What to check to achieve proper alignment To set the stage for prolonged service life, it is essential to verify the following elements:   1 - Journal Face

What are multi-pass rotary joints   Multi-passage rotary joints are essential components for systems that require transferring different fluids or needing multiple passages sealed independently during rotation. They are designed to ensure no leakage and that pressure is maintained in each passage. In some industrial applications, it is necessary to transfer 2 or more fluids (e.g. air and hydraulic oil) at the same time, which must not come into direct contact, and these rotary joints are the practical solution to this problem. But how do these products work? How are they manufactured? And what are the factors to consider when choosing the best multi-pass coupling? Let's find out more about these Johnson-Fluiten products made in Italy.  

WITH 145 YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN THE ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING OF INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS, RODOLFO COMERIO HAS BECOME A LEADER IN THE RUBBER AND PLASTICS EQUIPMENT SECTOR THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. THEIR HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS ARE REFLECTED IN THEIR CHOICE OF COMPONENTS: INCLUDING OF COURSE THE ROTARY JOINTS, FOR WHICH THE COMPANY RELIES ON JOHNSON-FLUITEN.     Rodolfo Comerio is the main company in Italy in terms of construction of calendering lines and systems for the lamination and embossing of thermoplastic foils and rubber. Founded in 1878, today Rodolfo Comerio

A partnership that has lasted for decades: the partnership between Boema, a major manufacturer of equipment for the food industry, and Johnson-Fluiten, a company focused on the design and production of rotary joints, owes its longevity to a shared emphasis on quality, but above all to the ability to meet challenges by finding the best solution thanks to expertise and know-how.      For over forty years, Boema has been known by customers all over the world for its systems for the food industry. The constant evolution of the solutions taken to be ahead of processing techniques has allowed Boema to grow and become an international company with more than 220 employees and production facilities occupying a total

Trevisan Macchine Utensili's machine tools and Johnson-Fluiten rotary joints share manufacturing processes that are for the most part performed in-house to ensure total control and excellent performance: a shared vision that explains the successful collaboration between the two companies.     For 60 years, "Trevisan Macchine Utensili" has been a well-known and appreciated name worldwide for the reliability and accuracy of its solutions for the mechanical industry. Among the features that have ensured the company's success is its ability to customise solutions according to customer requirements and

  Not all machine tools are the same, but all of them need components that guarantee high levels of performance such as:   - high speeds - air and coolant - possibility of dry running - wear resistance - vibration reduction - minimum friction torque   OUR SOLUTION Developing quality rotary joints that have all these features has been our goal for 20 years. But at Johnson-Fluiten

Johnson-Fluiten turns 20. The Milan-based company, founded in 2003 as a joint venture between Kadant-Johnson (then 'The Johnson Corporation') and Fluiten Spa, for the design and production of solutions for water, steam, oil and refrigerant fluid applications, combines the best aspects of the two entities: an American multinational with ninety years of history behind it and an Italian company appreciated for its creativity and flexibility.   We talked about this business and its prospects in this double interview with Victor Caronni, Marketing Manager, and Marco Golla, Sales Director.  

  The self-supported SX rotary joint provides a positive seal between stationary piping and a rotating cylinder and is applied to steam, water, and hot oil service. The SX rotary joint incorporates two internal carbon-graphite bearings that permit self-alignment and long operating life, even on cylinders that are not concentric. Using new sealing technologies, the SX rotary joint has extended seal life and increased reliability along with application flexibility. The SX rotary joint line is available in sizes from 3/4” to 3” and can be used in single- or

The choice between a ball-bearing rotary joint or one supported by a carbon guide is affected by several factors, let's find out which ones. Both options feature a self-supporting structure that is used when there is no external structure to mount a rotary joint, or when the joint configuration and application do not require external support. For many applications, rotary joints with external ring support, such as the PTX® rotary joint or the CorrPro® rotary joint, are the best solution.  

As good as new. Our rotary joint reconditioning service gives the product perfect functionality "as if it had just left the factory". We are so confident in the result that we guarantee it.     All mechanical components have a 'life cycle' and when they are used in particularly heavy-duty applications, for parts exposed to normal wear and tear, it is necessary to carry out some checks and professional maintenance so that the system always works at its best. Let's take one of our customers as an example who treats animal waste (or also called 'rendering') with its plants. Treating slaughterhouse waste such as bones, blood, feathers, carcasses, leather, and turning them into bone and
