Seal Replacement
Easy seal replacement
The RX line has a unique feature. The complete line from 3⁄8” to 6” is featured with a Quick Replacement Design (QRD). This
feature will allow you to repair the RX union while the union is still installed on the machine. The Kadant RX union is the
only one offering this feature in a ball bearing line. The RX union is designed for long operating life and short maintenance
time to guarantee the best operating times for your production line.

How does it work?

Step 1.
Loosen and remove socket head cap screws (2A) and set aside. Remove head (2).

Step 2.
Remove seal ring (5), o-ring (12), and springs (7) from head (2) and discard.

Step 3.
Remove counterseat insert (6) and o-ring (12) from nipple (4) and discard.

Step 4.
Carefully clean the o-ring end of the nipple (4) and the bore of the head (2) where the seal ring (5) sits. Do not scratch
surfaces. This maybe done using a Scotch Brite pad.

Step 5.
Apply a small amount of o-ring lube to both sides of a new o-ring (12) and fit it over the end of the new seal ring (5) into the
o-ring groove. Insert new springs (7) into the spring holes in the head (2).

Step 6.
Place a clean soft cloth over the sealing face of the seal ring (5). Align the notches in the seal ring with the pins (13) in the
head (2) and gently press the seal ring in to the bore of the head.

Step 7.
Apply a small amount of o-ring lube to both side of a new o-ring (12) for the counterseat (6) and fit it into the o-ring groove
in the end of the nipple (4). Align the flats on the OD of the new counterseat (6) with raised ends of the nipple. Gently press
the counterseat into the nipple.

Step 8.
Ensure that the seal faces are clean. Clean the faces of the counterseat (6) and seal ring (5) using a lint free cloth and acetone.

Step 9.
Carefully place the head (2) containing the seal ring (5) back onto the body (1). Secure head to body using socket head cap
screws (2A). Seal package replacement is complete.

 Engineering Data
Rotary Union Sizing
Rotary unions that are used for liquid flow are typically sized so that the pressure drop is less than 0,20 bar for open-loop
systems and less than 0,40 bar for closed-loop systems. The pressure drop through a dual flow rotary union is higher than the
pressure drop through a single flow union of the same size, because the internal flow area is lower. Use the appropriate chart
below for your configuration. Note that the pressure drop shown for dual flow unions is for the supply passage. The total
pressure drop (flow in and flow out) would be approximately 2x this value.

Custom Solutions

Special RX, connectivity flexibility

This RX line developed on special demands for plastic
film customers. Special fixed rotor connections and
SAE flange provisions for thermal oil applications
make these joints versatile for a large variety of
applications. This version is designed as 11⁄ 2”, and is
rated up to 105°C, 10 bar and 1.500 RPM.

Special RX, complying flexibility

RX unions for applications in the pharmaceutical,
food, and petrochemical industries that need to
comply with e.g. CIP, ATEX or FDA certification can
be delivered to custom specification. This RX union
is suitable for a large range of temperatures for
which we can supply special elastomers for optimal
performance and durability. Temperatures far below
freezing point are also possible.

Special RX, industry application flexibility

This RX was initially designed for the food industry
and is a complete stainless steel rotary union with a
bronze nipple. It is applied in a slow speed cooling
application in manufacturing. This RX is available in
11⁄ 2” and 2” and is rated up to 105°C,
13 bar and 1.000 RPM.

Special multi-passage flexibility

This multi-passage union was developed for index
machines applications. A combination of Duraseal™
technologies and mechanical seals are used to
guarantee a long life and high up-time. Various
media possible like air, vacuum, methane, and water.
Rotary unions can be designed to integrate perfectly
with the requirements of customized machines.

Other Rotary Unions
SX® Rotary Joint for Steam and Thermal Oil
(3⁄4” to 3”)
The SX rotary joint is designed for steam and
thermal oil applications. Its two internal carbon-
graphite bearings permit self-alignment and long
operating life – even on cylinders that are not
concentric. The convex seal ring and optimized
seal diameter provide extended seal life and
reduced maintenance for the SX rotary joint.
The SX rotary joint line is available in sizes from
3⁄4” to 3” and can be used in single or dual flow

applications. The rotary joint is rated up to 343°C,

20 bar, and 550 RPM.

ELS™ Rotary Joint for Steam and Thermal Oil

(2” to 12”)
The ELS rotary joint is designed for use with
steam and thermal oil service. The double-guide
design provides internal support for the rotary
joint and maintains alignment even when the roll
or cylinder is not concentric. The ELS is available
in sizes ranging from 2” to 12” and is rated up to
343°C, 50 bar, and 200 RPM.

G™ Rotary Union for Coolant, Water, Air,

and Hydraulic Oil
The G rotary union is a high performance, high
precision union for coolant, water, air, and hydraulic
oil applications. G unions are generally applied to
spindles, gun drills, milling, and other machinery.
The G union is designed for smooth-running at
speeds up to 50.000 RPM and pressures up to 400
bar in sizes ranging from 1⁄4” to 5⁄8”.

MP™ Rotary Union for Pneumatic, Hydraulic,

and Water Applications
The MP rotary union is a custom-designed multi-
passage union for pneumatic, hydraulic, and
water applications. The precision ball bearings are
lubricated for life and housing materials include
stainless steel, aluminium, steel, or brass. Standard
passage sizes are 1⁄8”, 1⁄4”, 3⁄8”, 1⁄2”, 3⁄4”, and 1” with
other sizes available. MP unions are available with
up to 12 passages and rated up to 107°C, 207 bar,
and 500 RPM.

Recommendations
Flexible Hose
To ensure free movement of the rotary union and elimination of side loading, the proper installation, type, and length of
flexible hose should be used.

Filtration
It is important to follow the filtration requirements recommended by the machinery manufacturer. RX rotary unions do not
require additional filtration other than what is recommended for the fluid circulation system (typically 40–60 micron).

Guarantee
RX rotary unions are tested and are warranted against manufacturing defects for 12 months. Kadant Johnson’s global
sales and service network stands behind its products and provides support to more than 150 countries worldwide.

Threaded Supply Pipe
A threaded supply pipe is used for dual flow installations and is connected to the rotary
union elbow using BSP threads. The size of the supply pipe determines the flow rate for
a particular union size. The larger the pipe size, the higher the potential flow rate for
a given size union. To avoid excessive stress at the pipe thread, the supply pipe length
should not be longer than 4x the overall length of the rotary union.

Rotating Supply Pipe

A rotating supply pipe can be produced from tubing or iron pipe. The end of the pipe
that is inserted into the rotary union elbow is machined to a specific tolerance to
provide the proper fit and performance. It is recommended that the rotating supply
pipe be supported inside the roll when attempting to use a supply pipe longer than 4x
the length of the union. A straight thread rotor (for example, BSP or UNS) is used to
ensure concentricity.

Fixed Tube Supply Pipe

The fixed tube supply pipe is made of stainless steel tubing and is silver-soldered into
the elbow of the rotary union. The lighter weight and thinner wall sections allow for
higher flow rates and higher rotational speeds compared to alternative supply pipe
designs. To avoid excessive stress at the tube-elbow interface, the supply pipe length
should not be longer than 6x the overall length of the rotary union.
