Overview The rotary union is a high performance, high precision rotary union for coolant, water, air, and hydraulic oil applications. The rotary unions are generally applied to the machine tool industry for: u Transfer lines u un drills u Spindles u Drilling u Milling u Machine tools u CNC machines u rinding machines u Presses u Clutches u Rotary index tables Based on decades of mechanical seal design and application expertise, the rotary union line is built to perform under the most demanding conditions. A thorough understanding of seal load optimization, seal wear characteristics, and application knowledge means the rotary union can provide years of reliable service for coolant, water, air, and hydraulic oil applications. Precision rotary unions designed for smooth running, high speed coolant, air, and hydraulic oil applications. Measuring and controlling seal design ensures leak-free operation. Rotor concentricity is measured to allow vibration-free operation. aser etched hydrodynamic grooves provide improved seal performance. 3

Recommendations Installation and operation recommendations rotary unions are high-precision components that provide smooth running operation at high speeds. Due to the precise manufacturing tolerances, these rotary unions require care during installation and maintenance. Installation instructions are available online at www.coolantunion.com or from your local Kadant Johnson sales office. lexible hose To ensure free movement of the rotary union and elimination of side loading, the proper installation, type, and length of flexible hose should be used. Kadant Johnson recommends SA 1R1 type AT single-braid hose. The minimum length of hose is 12 for a one-piece installation. Hose should be a minimum of 12 long. Yes No No Yes ubrication The seal faces in all rotary unions are lubricated by the media (coolant, hydraulic oil, etc.) passing through the rotary union. The Auto-Off seal device found in select rotary unions permits dry running. All ball bearings are lubricated for life and require no additional lubrication. iltration It is important to follow the filtration requirements recommended by the machinery OM. The rotary unions do not require additional filtration other than what is recommended for the coolant pumping system. uarantee rotary unions are tested prior to shipment and are warranted against manufacturing defects for 12 months. Kadant Johnson s global sales and service network stands behind its products and provides support to more than 15 countries worldwide. 19
Other Rotary Unions Type RX for water, thermal oil, and air ( 3 8 to 6 ) The RX rotary union features a balanced seal and carbon-to-tungsten carbide seal package that makes the RX more robust and able to run longer than other ball bearing designs. The RX rotary union is supported by two widely-spaced anti-friction bearings, capable of intermittent dry running, and has the balanced seal-loading springs located outside the flow area to minimize potential for fouling. The RX is rated up to 5 (26 C), 15 psi (1 bar), and 3, RPM. Type SX for steam and thermal oil ( 3 4" to 5") The SX rotary union is designed for steam and thermal oil applications with a stationary supply pipe. Its two internal carbon-graphite bearings permit self-alignment and long operating life even on cylinders that are not concentric. The convex seal ring and optimized seal diameter provide extended seal life and reduced maintenance for the SX rotary union. The SX rotary union line is available in sizes from 3 4" to 5" and can be used in single or dual flow applications. The union is rated up to 65 (343 C), 3 psi (2 bar), and 55 RPM. Type S for steam and thermal oil service (2 to 16 ) The S rotary union features two carbon-graphite bearings to provide internal support for the rotary union and maintain alignment. The S rotary union is available in sizes 2 to 16 and is rated up to 65 (343 C), 3 psig (2 bar), and 2 RPM. Kadant is a global supplier of high-value, critical components and engineered systems used in process industries worldwide. www.kadant.com Contact us: Type Over-the-Shaft for water, hydraulic oil, and air service The Over-the-Shaft rotary union is applied to various types of rolls that require cooling through the driven roll journal. The OTS features a design for both high-speed and lower-speed applications and is rated up to 2 (93 C) and 15 psig (1 bar).
