The Principle of Hydraulic Rotary Union
A hydraulic rotary union is an essential element in any system that involves rotation. It lets fluid pass through while not hindering the continuation of a scalar's rotation through an aqueous medium. Hydraulic rotary unions are particularly critical where the movement of hydraulic fluid or coolant is required within rotation equipment. This blog will showcase the proper mounting, torque restraints, and seal of the rotary union. Mounting and Torque Restraints One critical aspect of Hydraulic Rotary Union is the mount and swivel and the torque restraint systems. These should be close together axially to avoid unwanted movement of the parts. Where they are centred about the two ends, the rotary aspect of the hydraulic rotary union may chatter, make noise, and even go to the extent of binding. Torque Arm Geometry Importance Another design of hydraulic rotary unions is the torque arm geometry, which also determines the performance of these joints. The single or double torque arm, rota...
