Rotary unions and slip rings are essential components in industrial automation, enabling the continuous 360° transfer of fluids, electrical power, and signals between stationary and rotating equipment. Designed for robotics, indexing tables, and automated machinery, they provide reliable, uninterrupted operation while eliminating cable twisting, reducing maintenance, and improving overall system efficiency.
Automated machinery rotates continuously and indefinitely — rotary unions and slip rings keep fluid, power, and signal flowing across that rotation without a single twisted cable or maintenance stoppage.
Transfer air, coolant, hydraulic fluid, and electrical signals across the rotating axis of robotic arms and index tables — enabling continuous 360° rotation without cable wrap.
Supply compressed air and control signals to rotating applicator heads — keeping label placement accurate at high-speed line rates.
Deliver air, vacuum, and electrical power to rotating turrets and filling heads — supporting continuous, high-throughput packaging and bottling operations.
Combine fluid and electrical signal transfer in a single rotating union — carrying sensor, control, and process media through one compact connection.
The CARBON series and spares below are specified most often for automation applications. Final selection should be confirmed against your operating pressure, temperature, and RPM.
