Understanding the Basics of Air Rotary Unions
What is an Air Rotary Union?
An Air Rotary Union, also known as a pneumatic rotary joint, pneumatic rotary union, or air rotary joint, serves as a vital connector in pneumatic systems. It enables the seamless transfer of compressed air or gases between stationary and rotating parts of machinery, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.
How Does it Work?
The core functionality of an air rotary union lies in its ability to provide a reliable passage for air or gas through rotating components without compromising performance. Precision engineering and advanced sealing mechanisms make this possible, allowing for 360-degree rotation without leaks or loss of pressure.
Is an Air Rotary Union the same as a Pneumatic Rotary Union?
Yes, an air rotary union and a pneumatic rotary union are essentially the same thing! Both terms refer to a type of fitting used in pneumatic systems to allow for the transfer of compressed air or gases between a stationary and a rotating part.
Here’s a breakdown:
Air rotary union: This term specifically mentions that the medium being transferred is air.
Pneumatic rotary union: This term is more general and encompasses any gas or compressed air application.
