The DN Rotating Joint (also known as a double-flange high-pressure hydraulic universal swivel joint) is a critical connecting component for rigid piping systems. Its core function is to solve the problem of rigid pipe connections that cannot move freely, allowing the connected pipes to achieve 360° rotation or swing within a certain angle.
Universal Flexibility – Adds a "universal joint" to the piping system, allowing both media transmission and flexible movement.
Double-Flange Structure – Both ends use flange connections, ensuring rigid connection, reliable sealing, and easy installation/disassembly.
High Pressure Resistance – Withstands working pressures from 3.0 to 31.5 MPa.
Wide Temperature Range – Suitable for temperatures from -30°C to +200°C.
Various Media – Applicable to hydraulic oil, water, air, steam, and other media.
Industry | Specific Application |
|---|---|
Construction Machinery | Hydraulic excavators, cranes, robotic arm oil circuits |
Metallurgy & Steel | Continuous casting machine cooling systems, high-temperature cooling water |
Environmental Protection | Tower crane spray systems, rotating spray equipment |
Petrochemical | Rotating reactors, loading arm piping connections |
General Industry | Rotary tables, hydraulic systems on automated production lines |
Bearing Support – Precision bearings or balls ensure smooth rotation and withstand pipe loads and bending moments.
Sealing System – High-quality seals (e.g., Parker brand or special rubber) for reliable sealing.
Material Options:
Carbon Steel – Cost-effective, high strength, suitable for general industrial applications.
Stainless Steel (304/316L) – Acid and corrosion resistant, suitable for seawater, chemicals, and corrosive media.
DN Rotating Joints are flanged on both ends. The choice of flange standard directly determines compatibility with your piping system. The three major flange standards are fully described below.

If standard models cannot meet your requirements, manufacturers typically support non-standard customization:
Size customization – DN20 up to DN800 or larger
Configuration customization – Straight, 90° elbow, 180° U-shape, and other special configurations
Multi-function composite – Combined delivery of air, liquid, oil, and other media
Multi-standard adaptability – One rotating joint compatible with GB, ANSI, DIN, and other flange standards
The DN Rotating Joint (Double-Flange High-Pressure Hydraulic Universal Swivel Joint) is a reliable solution for pipe swivel connections. Focus on three key points when selecting:
Operating Parameters (pressure, temperature, media) – determines the product grade
Flange Standard (GB/ANSI/DIN) – determines interface compatibility
Flange Type & Sealing Face (PL/SO/WN, RF/FF/RJ) – determines connection reliability
If you need further assistance with selection, please provide your pipe size (DN), working pressure (MPa), and media type, and I can give more specific recommendations.
