High Speed Rotary Union High-speed rotary union is a type of rotary joint. High-speed rotary joints are used for high-speed interface transmission media. High-speed rotary joints are different from ordinary rotary joints, so you must pay special attention to them during normal use. …

Use left-hand when turning clockwise Use right-hand when turning counterclockwise Preparations and precautions before installation Check whether the selected rotary joint type, specifications and models are correct, and whether the connection parts with the machine and pipeline (pipe section) used for assembly are missing. When the hollow shaft of the rotary joint is threaded, check…

If you have basic valve knowledge, you are probably familiar with ball valves — one of the most common types of valves available today. A ball valve is typically a quarter-turn valve with a perforated ball in the middle to control flow. These valves are known for being durable with…

What is a Swivel Joint? Swivel joints, also known as rotary unions are made use of in applications where a continuous transmission of fluids from a stationary resource to a revolving resource is called for without cross-contamination or leak. Normal applications use swivel joints to allow for 360-degree rotation while maintaining hoses from obtaining tangles…

Ball valves are specially designed valves that are used in pipeline applications to turn off and on flow of a substance. For instance, they’re commonly used in gas processing, plumbing and industrial piping systems to control the flow of a gas or liquid through a pipe. …

When most people think of wind turbines, bigger components like motors and blades immediately come to mind. Smaller components, on the other hand, are often overlooked. However, it’s those small components that can make or break a system. A perfect example is the slip ring assembly — also known as…

Throughout the 19th and early part of the 20th century, the accepted method of supplying water or steam to a rotating cylinder was through the use of stuffing boxes or packing glands, which proved inefficient. The more these sealing materials wore, the more they leaked. In August of 1933, R.O…

Several hydraulic directional control valves have spools. Spools slide between parts allowing liquid to flow in open gates, based on the state of the spool in the body. Valves may have one or multiple spools to achieve the designed port control. …

Gas ball valves follow the same principles of other ball valves, they are mostly two-piece construction and feature a ¼ turn shut off. That being said, they are not your standard ball valve. Gas ball valves require CSA approval in order to be used in combustible gas applications. …
