OverviewThe DN40 universal rotary union is a low speed single passage rotating joint designed for reliable fluid transfer between stationary supply lines and rotating equipment. With a 40mm inner diameter (1.5 inch nominal bore) the rotary joint delivers high flow capacity while maintaining a compact footprint. The self-aligning design with 20° floating angle automatically compensates for minor misalignment, reducing shaft stress and extending seal service life.
Key SpecificationsModel Type: Universal Rotary Union / Swivel Joint
Inner Diameter: 40mm (DN40 / 1.5")
Max Speed: ≤10 RPM
Max Pressure: ≤1.0 MPa
Max Temperature: ≤200 °C
Floating Angle: 20° (Self Aligning)
Applicable Media: Water, Air, Saturated Steam
Core Advantages- Self Aligning 20 Degree Floating Design — Rotor freely adjusts within a 20° floating range to compensate for installation misalignment, minimizing vibration and mechanical stress on bearings and seals.
- Stable Low Speed Performance — Engineered for applications up to 10 RPM for smooth, leak-free operation in low-speed rotating tables, rollers, turntables and indexing machinery.
- High Pressure and Temperature Capability — Rated for working pressures up to 1.0 MPa and temperatures up to 200 °C; sealing system remains stable in continuous saturated steam service.
- Multi Media Compatibility — Single universal model handles water, compressed air and saturated steam, reducing need for separate rotary joints per media type.
- Low Maintenance and Leak Proof — Optimized seal structure provides long-term leak-free performance and reduced seal wear due to self-aligning capability.
- Cost Effective Solution — Universal design reduces inventory and procurement cost; supplier indicates savings compared to dedicated rotary joint configurations.
