How it Works:
Rotating Connection: At its core, a swivel joint enables a rotating pipe or hose to connect to a stationary point while maintaining a continuous flow of the substance within.
Sealing Mechanism: The key to a swivel joint's function is its ability to prevent leaks despite the rotation. This is achieved through sophisticated sealing mechanisms, often involving:
Rotary Seals: These seals rotate with the moving part of the joint, maintaining a constant contact and preventing leakage.
Pressure Balancing: Some designs incorporate pressure balancing systems to minimize wear and tear on the seals.
Applications:
Swivel joints find widespread use across various industries:
Industrial Machinery:
Construction Equipment: Used in cranes, excavators, and other heavy machinery to supply hydraulic fluid or other essential substances.
Manufacturing: Employed in robotic arms and other automated systems where fluid transfer is required during motion.
Energy:
Oil & Gas: Crucial in drilling rigs, refineries, and pipelines to transfer fluids and gases.
Power Generation: Used in turbines and other rotating equipment.
Other Applications:
Aerospace: Found in aircraft for fuel transfer and other critical systems.
Marine: Used in ship loading and unloading operations.
Key Features:
Rotation: Allows for continuous 360-degree rotation.
Leak-Proof: Maintains a tight seal to prevent fluid leakage.
Durability: Designed to withstand high pressures and demanding operating conditions.
Variety of Materials: Available in various materials to suit different applications and environments.
Types of Swivel Joints:
Single-Plane Swivel Joints: Allow for rotation around a single axis.
Double-Plane Swivel Joints: Enable rotation in two perpendicular planes, providing greater flexibility.
High-Pressure Swivel Joints: Designed to withstand extremely high pressures.
Low-Temperature Swivel Joints: Suitable for operation in very cold environments.
If you have a specific application in mind, providing more details can help in recommending the most suitable type of swivel joint.
