Rotary union for compressed air

We have your suitable rotating union for compressed air

TDS Precision Products GmbH is specialized in the core competences rotary transmission, drive technology and sensor technology. On the one hand we offer high quality products in common standards and on the other hand we go into planning with our customers for special designs. If you need a rotating union for compressed air, you have come to the right place with our flexible company.

The idea behind a rotating union for compressed air

The rotating union for compressed air, other gases or even water, oil and grease can be found everywhere in mechanical engineering. It is also referred to as a rotary feed, because it is a matter of transmitting the respective media when stationary and rotating machine parts meet. Depending on the form of the connection and the application of the machine, a rotary union for compressed air, water, etc. can face very different requirements.

Where is a rotating union for compressed air used?

The application areas of a rotating union for compressed air are mainly in the industrial sector. In automotive engineering, rotating components are part of many designs and work with compressed air. In all companies that work with machining technology, a rotating union for compressed air can also be found. In milling or turning, for example, the rotating union for compressed air ensures that the spindle in the machine works and the milling head can be used. Multi-channel rotary unions, which transport compressed air, coolant and lubricating oil at the same time, are particularly in demand here. Machine cleaning operations also rely on the rotating union. Compressed air can enable comparatively gentle cleaning without having to dismantle individual parts of the machine for each cleaning process. The rotating union for compressed air has another major area of application: automation. Wherever robotic assistance is used, gripping and transfer movements are usually coupled to rotary movements. These use the rotating union for compressed air.

One-way rotating union for compressed air

At TDS Precision Products GmbH, we offer various standard types of the one-way rotating union. For example, the "JCE" model is suitable for compressed air up to six bar. It has a compact design and is friction-free in use. Thanks to high-quality workmanship, this rotating union for compressed air is durable even with intensive use and impresses with a speed of up to 500 revolutions per minute. For a wider range of applications with up to 3,500 revolutions per minute, the "JC" model is convincing. This rotary union is equally suitable for compressed air, water and oil and operates at up to 50 bar. Friction-free operation also guarantees a long service life here.

Multi-way rotating union for compressed air

Unlike a one-way rotating union for compressed air or other media, multi-way models direct the respective medium to different application points. This is why we also speak of multi-channel rotating unions, since the medium is directed to different points in the machine thanks to several channels. In principle, it is also possible to use a multi-way rotating union for compressed air and other media. This is required, for example, if a coolant is to be transported at the same time. In this case, special attention must be paid in the design to consistently separate channels so that the media do not mix. Your TDS Precision Products GmbH offers you a variety of models with up to 24 channels and 1'375 bar. We are also happy to enter into the planning phase with you at any time for special designs and take care of prompt implementation.
