A rotary joint is a device used to connect two pipes or fittings, which allows the pipes to rotate flexibly when changing direction or angle, thereby reducing stress and damage to the pipes.
The working principle of rotary joints mainly relies on the internal structural design.
Generally speaking, a rotary joint consists of a housing and an internal rotating component.
The internal rotating component is usually an annular hole with one or more rotating bearings inserted in between.
When pipes or fittings are connected to rotary joints, the internal rotating components are locked onto the casing.
However, due to the presence of bearings inside the rotary joint, when the direction or angle of the pipeline changes, the contact surface between the outer shell and the internal rotating components will experience some sliding.
This sliding can reduce stress and friction at the pipeline interface, allowing the pipeline to rotate more flexibly.
At the same time, the rotary joint can prevent the pipeline from twisting, deforming, and breaking during rotation, protecting the integrity of the pipeline.
In addition, rotary joints can also reduce friction and improve the smoothness and flexibility of rotation through lubricating oil or lubricants.
In general, the working principle of rotary joints is to achieve flexible rotation of pipelines when changing direction or angle through internal rotating structures and bearings, thereby reducing stress and friction and protecting the normal operation of pipelines.
