If you are looking for a simple and reliable rotary joint to transfer heating or cooling fluid through the cylinders of your industrial process, you should consider Kadant Johnson's R or RX rotary joints.

R AND RX ROTARY UNION BENEFITS

R & RX rotary joints bring many benefits. Here are five:

1. Adaptability

R and RX rotary joints can handle different fluids for many applications. They are versatile and perfectly compatible with the DP and DX Series rotary unions.

2. Available Immediately

Choose from a wide range of R and RX rotary unions, available directly from stock or with extremely short lead times.

3. Ease of Maintenance

The special design of the R and RX unions allows you to perform maintenance without removing the rotary union from the machine. This saves valuable time and resources.

4. Quality Construction

A characteristic feature of R and RX unions is that the seal-loading springs do not contact the process fluid, lowering the risk of leakage and extending the life of the union.

5. Performance

R and RX rotary unions can operate in environments with temperatures up to 260°C (500°F), handling pressures up to 50 barg (725 psi) and achieving rotational speeds up to 3,500 rpm.

A SINGLE SOLUTION FOR MOST INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

R and RX rotary unions are designed to provide outstanding performance for a wide range of applications in different industries including:

• Chemicals/Pharmaceuticals
• Rubber and Plastics
• Food and Beverage
• Printing/Converting/Flexo
• Textiles

The R and RX rotary unions use a balanced seal with special ball bearings or optional tapered roller bearings to support the rotor. These rotary unions also incorporate the latest technology in mechanical seal design for water and thermal oil service. The high thrust load capability and carbon-to-silicon (or Tungsten) carbide seal package make the R and RX rotary unions run longer and with fewer maintenance requirements than other ball-bearing designs.

Specifications

• The RX rotary union is capable of operating up to 500°F (260°C), 360 psi (25 bar), and 3,500 rpm
• The R rotary union is capable of operating up to 355°F (180°C), 725 psi (50 bar), and 3,000 rpm
• Sizes available from 3/8" to 6"
