The race towards a sustainable future is not only fought in large-scale renewable energy projects, but also in the technical details that often go unnoticed by non-specialists. Here is where rotary unions, used in Kaplan turbines for hydroelectric power generation, become the key to transforming water movement into clean electricity.   Hydroelectric comparison: differences between turbines In the hydroelectric sector, several types of turbines are used to generate clean energy, among which the most common are Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines. The choice mainly depends on the hydraulic head and the water flow available. Pelton turbines are designed for very high heads and low flows. They are ideally used in mountain plants, where steep gradients make it possible

Lubrication is often considered a simple operational detail, but for those who design, build or work with machine tools, it is a key element in ensuring high performance, safety and durability of equipment. It is from this awareness that our new technical whitepaper, developed in collaboration with the editors of Tecnologie Meccaniche / Techmec.it, was born. An in-depth study designed for engineers, designers, production managers, and maintenance personnel that takes a clear and applicable look at the key points of a process that is too often underestimated: proper lubrication management.  

Cos'è un giunto rotante e perché è fondamentale nelle macchine utensili? Un giunto rotante è un componente meccanico che consente il passaggio di fluidi da una parte fissa a una parte rotante della macchina. Nelle macchine utensili CNC, questi giunti sono fondamentali per garantire il raffreddamento, la lubrificazione o il trasferimento di energia in condizioni estreme di velocità e pressione. Cosa rende un giunto rotante "affidabile" in ambito industriale? Un giunto rotante affidabile è quello che garantisce continuità operativa senza guasti o perdite di prestazioni nel tempo. Significa zero fermi macchina, riduzione dei costi di manutenzione e massimizzazione della produttività. Quanto può durare un giunto rotante industriale? Nella media, un giunto rotante può durare da pochi anni fino a 10 anni, a seconda dell'applicazione e delle condizioni operative. Tuttavia, i giunti rotanti Johnson-Fluiten hanno dimostrato di funzionare senza problemi anche per 24 an

When you look at the heart of any advanced manufacturing line, whether it’s a paper mill, a food processing plant, or a high-speed CNC machine, you’ll find a component working tirelessly behind the scenes: the rotary joint. Industrial engineers, production and maintenance managers know the pain of fluid leaks, frequent maintenance, and costly downtime. But what if the solution was a single innovation that transformed how industries harness water, steam, and other fluids in motion? What is a rotary joint and why is it important in industrial machinery? A rotary joint—also known as a rotary union or swivel joint—is a mechanical device that allows the transfer of steam, water, oil, coolant, air, or other media from a stationary source to a rotating part, such as a drying cylinder, drum, or spindle. Industrial rotary joints are essential in paper manufacturing, CNC machining, food processing, and chemical production. Common rotary joint a

Meet the challenges of high temperatures with a simple component but designed to last   In the chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics and printing industries, applications requiring the use of high-temperature diathermic oil are becoming increasingly common. But how to ensure safety, operational continuity and low maintenance requirements? The answer lies in choosing the right rotary joint.   The Z-series rotary joint was developed precisely to meet these critical needs. Thanks to its design and high-quality materials, it is a reliable, efficient and durable solution even under extreme conditions. The Z rotary joint is distinguished by its thermal and mechanical resistance, making it ideal for applications with diathermic oil up to 300°C

Did you know that every Johnson-Fluiten G-Series rotary joint is individually tested before delivery? Our commitment to quality results in an extremely stringent testing protocol designed to ensure maximum performance under real operating conditions   Each joint is tested extensively to ensure:   - Perfect seal: we simulate real operation with pressurized water at 10 bar, verifying that the joint is completely sealed and leak-free. - Resistance to high speeds: the joint is tested up to 10,000 RPM, replicating the most demanding conditions in machine tools. - Uncompromising reliability:each
