Bearingless Rotating Unions Are One Family - But Each of Them is Completely Individual

From Deublin Co.
 

 

During the machining process, modern machine tools use coolants, minimum quantity lubrication or compressed air for blowing out the chips in case of dry machining depending on the type of material and production task. Contrary to the past when the work piece was simply "flooded" with coolant, the medium is today transported through the spindle and tool to the tool tip in a well directed way. This procedure calls for a rotating union at the end of the spindle, the function of which is to transfer the medium from the stationary supply lines to the fast rotating spindle. These rotating unions are independent units. They are then called "bearingless rotating unions" or "sealing cartridges". The current development of the bearingless rotating unions shows two tendencies:
