Rotary Unions

Rotating Swivel Joints are used for the transfer of fluid


between rotating and static parts. For over 40 years BGB
have designed & manufactured custom and integrated rotary
solutions for a wide range of applications.

BGB utilises its in house precision machining and assembly


expertise to ensure that your solution can be implemented
into the required envelope of the assembly, be it wind turbine
pitch hydraulics, tracked excavators or packaging equipment.


Fine tolerances, gasket selection and seal
design ensure no unquantified leaks from
manufacture. This is rigorously validated
against the test specification within our
specifically designed in-house test rigs.

The test rigs allow: pre-installation, application


of temperature and pressure performance to
give peace of mind.

ATEX and other environmental


tests can be validated via access to
BGB’s in-house testing capabilities
or externally certified through our
trusted partners.

Depending on your requirements, BGB can support you in the design of multi-
passage swivel joints, combined solutions and facilitation of various fluids. In
highly corrosive environments (such as marine) or where there is exposure to
external agents, BGB can support you in the most appropriate material selection
to ensure solution life expectancy is achieved and the cleanliness of your medium
is protected.

For higher pressure applications with fewer


BGB systems can also include
channels,
optional features like: Limit Switches, BGB is able to test up to 300bar to

Encoders, Condition Monitoring, ensure the leakage rates are within specification.
