Reliable steam transfer for textile machinery & low-speed paper machines

The 301 Series Rotary Joint is a self-supported rotary joint designed for steam applications. It is ideal for textile machinery and low-speed paper machines, offering reliable performance in both mono-flow and dual-flow systems with efficient steam transfer and long service life.

Key features

Built for durability, low maintenance, and reduced repair cost

The 301 Series combines flow configuration flexibility with a sleeve and sealing arrangement designed to minimize wear and simplify maintenance.

Single & dual flow condition

Available for different steam transfer applications.

Stationary syphon condition

Designed for stationary syphon applications.

Hard oxide layer

The hard oxide layer makes the sleeve corrosion resistant for improved durability.

Reusable sleeve

Sleeve can often be reused, helping to reduce repair costs.

Carbon sealing grade available

Different carbon sealing grades are available according to the application.

Minimized sleeve wear

Sleeve wear is minimized in the seal and bearing areas for longer service life.

The optimized design also minimizes the number of spares required, further simplifying maintenance over the joint's service life.

Hard oxide sleeve & reusability

A corrosion-resistant sleeve built to be reused, not replaced

The sleeve is the wear component that protects the joint's seal and bearing areas — and the 301 Series is built to keep that sleeve in service for longer.

Hard oxide layer over the sleeve, protecting the seal & bearing contact areas
  • Corrosion-resistant hard oxide layer

    The hard oxide layer makes the sleeve corrosion resistant for improved durability across the joint's operating life.

  • Minimized wear at the seal & bearing areas

    Sleeve wear is minimized specifically in the seal and bearing areas, where wear would otherwise compromise sealing performance first.

  • Reusable, reducing repair costs

    Because wear is minimized and the sleeve is corrosion resistant, it can often be reused at service intervals rather than replaced — helping to reduce repair costs over the life of the joint.
