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.

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
