Care
Generally speaking our rotary unions are maintenance free. The bearing compartments are sealed which means that there is no need to regrease the swivel. In order to get the most out of your swivel, there are a few small things to consider. We are happy to give you some handy tips how to keep your swivel going.
Warning system for seals
The weep holes on the side of our swivels are not for greasing but to indicate if the seals inside need to be replaced.
When the rotary union is visibly installed
If you see water constantly coming out of the weep holes, the seals inside need to be replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise the grease will be flushed out of the bearing compartment and the swivel will fail and stop spinning.
Contact your Mosmatic dealer to get the right seal kit for your swivel. You learn how to replace the seals in the video below.
When the rotary union is invisibly installed
The weep holes of our swivel types DXTI, DYT und DYU have a female threat. This allows you to divert the water by using a tube or hose.
Underwater Applications
Our underwater rotary unions are equipped with a special check valve to ensure no outside water can get inside the swivel. This contributes to the longer life of your swivel.
Spare Parts
Seal Kit
The seals build the core of our swivels. They enable the swivel to rotate while being leak-proof.
The swivel has to withstand different variables like pressure, throughput medium and temperature. To get the most of your swivel the seals and O-rings need to be replaced from time to time. This way you protect the bearings and extend the life of your rotary union.
Bearing Kit
The function of the bearings is to absorb axial and radial forces. The bearing compartments are sealed with O-rings to avoid grease from being flushed out.
If you miss to replace the O-rings, the compartment will get flushed and the bearings will run without lubrication. Ultimately this will lead to failure of the swivel.
Besides the seal kit we also offer Bearing Kits for some swivel types.
Repair Kit
The Repair Kit is available for a few of our rotary unions and includes the Seal and Bearing Kit.
How to clamp a swivel
To replace the O-Rings, seals or bearings you need to open up the swivel. It is important to clamp the swivel in the correct manner to avoid damage to the housing, threats and internals. If possible you should use aluminium soft jaws.
