Discover the Modern Applications of OTS Rotary Unions Over-the-shaft (OTS) rotary unions are the backbone of fluid conveyance systems, seamlessly integrating with journals (shafts) that facilitate the flow of liquids into and out of rolls. As the journal rotates, the OTS rotary union seals around it, enabling the smooth transfer of fluids through the channels. These ingenious devices find frequent use in situations where fluid conveyance and the drive system coexist at the same end of a roll. Such applications require the journal to convey fluids while simultaneously transferring torque. Traditionally, you'll find OTS rotary unions in the metal industry, where water cooling is paramount. However, their versatility shines in any scenario where water, steam, or other fluid transfer is essential  

At MIAC - the International Paper Industry Exhibition - which will be held in Lucca from 11 to 13 October, Johnson-Fluiten teams up with Kadant to present products and solutions that have made the multinational group a benchmark in the industry.     Efficiency, Savings and Safety   These are the three pillars on which KADANT relies to achieve the core objective of its mission: the improvement of production processes in the paper industry.

We asked Petr Vozábal - an engineer and technical manager of a company that for over 15 years has specialised in machine tool maintenance - who had no doubts; the answer is the rotary joints from Kadant Johnson     VOPSS Řepeč s.r.o. began as a company focused on the reconditioning and repair of machine parts for companies engaged in production mainly with machine tools. Today, after many investments and years of success in the Czech Republic market, it has become a true benchmark fo

Flexible metal piping is used on the inlet and outlet connections of rotary joints to allow the movement of the joint itself and the thermal expansion of the pipes. The consequences of inadequate piping should not be underestimated. Inadequate installations can cause a number of problems, including:   - Excessive force applied to the joint body - Accelerated wear of the guides in self-supported rotary joints - Deflection of support rods in rod-supported rotary joints - Failure of fasteners in nipple flanges and journal flanges   To show the relevance of hose installations, consider the following examples:

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.
