The experience acquired by
Fluiten as a mechanical seal
Johnson-Fluiten ROTARY JOINTS:
The strong link in your system
manufacturer has led to the
construction of a wide range of
rotary joints for universal duties,
for coolants, pneumatics and
hydraulics.
Besides the standard models
described in this catalogue,
various special executions are
available (i.e. full Stainless Steel
execution for food and
pharmaceutical plants, with
more passages. etc.).
The reliability of our joints
is a result of the quality of
the materials, the precision
with which we accomplish
our operations, and the
testing of all the joints
before shipping.
Technological
developments can lead,
over time, to modifications.
For this reason, and for any
other kind of question not
included in this catalogue, we
ask you to contact us.

of seal elements.

Robust and reliable

antirotation device
High precision roller bearings

Stainless steel rotor

Springs not in contact with the product:

no clogging and minimum head loss.

connection. NPT threads
or flanged connections
are available on request

Wide range of gasket materials: NBR,

Balanced seal: Fluoroelastomer, Ethylene Propylene,
reduced friction torque Aflas.
Perfluoroelastomer available on request

Wide range of seal rings materials for the

best performance with any product.
Premium grade Graphite, Chromium
Molybdenum stainless steel, high quality
Silicon Carbide.
 1 In R type rotary joints, the seal substitution can be carried out
without dismounting the joint from its application. This is possible
by means of our Quick Replacement Device. It is sufficient to remove
the blocking screws (1) and separate the body to substitute the two
seal rings (2) and the O-rings. It is thus possible to quickly adapt
the joint to fluids requiring different sealing materials; in view of such
2 event we have prepared replacements kits comprising two seal rings,
O-ring gaskets and a series of springs.

Fluiten has been manifacturing

mechanical seals for any kind of
applications for 40 years, developing
an extensive knowledge of all issues
related to the design and production of
mechanical seals.
Fluiten has successfully challenged high
pressures, sliding speeds of 10 m/s
and more.
The range of products dealt with goes
from water, oil, and lubricants to

J oints type RB/RHB are designed to work at

of 400C and high rotation speeds. Such
performances can be reached by using two special
seals, with double balancing and with the 2000
interposition of a pressurised fluid for the cooling

This fluid is circulated by a pumping and cooling 1500
group that continuously verifies the systems
effectiveness, and signals through visual and
1000
sound alarms, possible variations from the set
values.
The above results are reached by using ball 500
bearings with closed loop oil cooling. Oil sealing
is obtained by two double balanced seals that
guarantee the effectiveness of the system even 0

Double mechanical seals with pressurised barrier NOMINAL DIAMETER [mm]
fluid avoid any leakage of the process fluid to the
atmosphere; in a worst case event, the barrier
fluid will leak into the process.
Such double mechanical seal systems have been
manufactured and installed in chemical,
petrochemical and pharmaceutical applications
by Fluiten since 1972.

The application of JOHNSON-FLUITEN rotary joints is simple and reliable when carried out according to the herebelow
described procedures.
CONNECTION
1. Use only flexible hoses for stationary part connection to
avoid overloading of the roller bearings support.
2. Put the RJ housing in a clamp to tighten the fittings.
3. Use flexible hoses of adequate length in order to have
good flexibility.
4. Very long rotating syphon pipes can overload the rotary
joint bushing.
5. Rotating syphons should have a good concentricity with
the joint rotational axis.For speeds higher than 1000 rpm
an additional bushing, made in PTFE or similar antifriction
material, should be provided in the machinery.
6. Clean carefully the machinery lines connected with the
rotary joint.
NO YES
FRICTION TORQUE
JOHNSON-FLUITEN Rotary joints have reduced friction
torque (see also diagram on page 5); in any case suitable
antirotation devices must be implemented to avoid rotation
of the stationary part.
For sizes up to R050 flexible hoses generally give a
sufficient reaction.
For larger sizes the use of the antirotation pin (see pages
8 & 9) is recommended.
SPARE PARTS
For all sizes a spare parts kit is available.
Each kit consists of:
Stationary and rotary rings
Secondary seals (O-Rings)
Springs
NOTE: For sizes R009 & R012 the entire rotor must be
replaced
7. In case of abrasive products the use of seal faces in
hard materials (Silicon carbide vs. Tungsten carbide
Arrangement C) is recommended. Dry-running is not allowed
with this seal faces material combination.
8. For safety reasons it is recommended to shield the
Rotary Joint with suitable barriers to avoid that people
could be harmed by accidental dangerous emissions.
NO YES
NOTE
Avoid using the rotary joints in conditions in which pressure,
speed and temperature are simultaneously near to the
max. allowed values.
For high duty operating conditions a correct selection of
seal materials is recommended. In doubt, please contact
JOHNSON-FLUITEN.
Seal faces are lapped with a planarity of two optical fringes
(monocromatic light method).
QRD system (see page 5) gives the possibility to check
seal element conditions facilitating the maintenance schedule.
Rotary joints up to R050 size have pre-lubricated roller
bearings which do not require relubrication.
Rotary joints RH version, recommended for temperatures
higher than 100C, have roller bearing of special design
for high temperatures and require periodic relubrication
(grease with drip point at 250C or higher, SILEX PLS.2
or equivalent).
For this operation a lubricator is provided on joint support.
For sizes larger than R050 a lubricator is always provided.
