Multi‑Passage Rotary Joints – Selection Guide & Brand Overview

Multi‑Passage Rotary Joints – Selection Guide & Brand Overview

1. Selection Steps

  1. Determine the circuit type

    • Single‑passage: media inlet and outlet are on opposite sides.

    • Dual‑passage: both inlet and outlet are on the same side.

    • Multi‑passage: multiple independent circuits for different media or multiple distribution points.

  2. Define critical parameters

    • Number of passages

    • Media type (hydraulic oil, water, air, steam, coolant, etc.) – ensure compatibility between media if multiple are used.

    • Maximum working pressure

    • Maximum rotational speed (often inversely related to pressure)

    • Operating temperature range

  3. Confirm connection details

    • Port size and thread type (NPT, BSP, MPT, etc.)

    • Connection style (threaded or flanged)

    • Rotation direction (if threaded connection)

  4. Consider special requirements

    • Installation space constraints

    • Additional functions (e.g., through‑hole for cables, simultaneous electrical signal transmission)

  5. Plan for safety & maintenance

    • Allow for leakage ports and ensure leakage fluids are properly collected.

    • Maintain filtration (typically ≤10 µm) to protect seals.

2. Key Parameters Overview

Parameter

Typical Range / Consideration

Number of passages

1 – 12+ (depending on design)

Pressure

Up to 50 MPa (higher for special hydraulic models)

Speed

50 – 300 RPM (trade‑off with pressure)

Temperature

Up to 70‑80 °C for standard seals; higher with special seals

Media compatibility

Seals must match the media (NBR, FKM, PTFE, etc.)

4. About FUXUAN/FOCUS (Shandong Focus Machinery)

FUXUAN is a Chinese manufacturer offering two main product lines for multi‑passage rotary joints:

  • High‑pressure series
    – Max pressure: ≤40 MPa
    – Max speed: ≤50 RPM
    – Media: air, oxygen, hydrogen, water, hydraulic oil, etc.

  • Medium/low‑pressure series
    – Max pressure: ≤10 MPa
    – Max speed: ≤100 RPM
    – Media: water, air, hydraulic oil, brine, etc.

Common features:

  • Threads: NPT / BSP / MPT (left‑ or right‑hand available)

  • Materials: stainless steel or brass

  • Temperature: ≤70‑80 °C

  • Minimum order: 1 piece

Installation notes from the manufacturer:

  • Do not rigidly fix both the rotor and the housing – allow one side to float to compensate for misalignment.

  • A torque arm must be used; do not rely solely on flexible hoses to prevent rotation.

  • Only use with media compatible with the seal and bearing materials.

5. General Installation & Maintenance Tips

  • Cleanliness – Thoroughly clean all pipes and the joint before installation to remove debris.

  • Concentricity – Align the housing and the shaft carefully to avoid vibration during operation.

  • Seal compatibility – Verify that seal materials (NBR, FKM, PTFE, etc.) are suitable for the media and temperature.

  • Torque arm – Always provide an effective anti‑rotation device.

  • Leakage management – If the model has a leakage port, keep the drain line unobstructed and free of back pressure.

6. How to Proceed

If you have detailed operating conditions (media, pressure, speed, number of passages, space constraints), you can:

  • Contact the brands directly for a formal quotation.

  • Request a customised solution from manufacturers like FUXUAN / FOCUS if standard products do not fit your requirements.

For further assistance, please provide your specific parameters and I can help narrow down the suitable models.

Note: The previously mentioned “FOCUS (焦点)” rotary joint could be identified as a mainstream industrial product. If you have a product sample or datasheet, please share it for a more accurate assessment.
