Engineered for demanding industrial applications, the 6000 Series Swivel Joint ensures safe and efficient transfer of fluids under high pressure, high temperature, and other extreme operating conditions — while allowing smooth rotational movement.
The 6000 Series Swivel Joint is designed to provide a flexible and reliable pipe connection between moving equipment. Engineered for demanding industrial applications, it ensures safe and efficient transfer of fluids under high pressure, high temperature, and other extreme operating conditions while allowing smooth rotational movement. Rated to 400 Bar across a temperature range of −100 °C to 220 °C, and available in sizes from 1″ to 25″ or customised to the installation, the 6000 Series is built around an exclusive step ball raced arrangement and specially designed sealing components chosen for the pressures and temperatures the joint is expected to hold.
Each element of the joint — the raceway, the sealing components, the surface treatment, and the dust protection — is specified for continuous rotation under pressure in demanding industrial service.
A special ball raced arrangement provides smooth and reliable rotational movement throughout the joint's operating range.
Specially designed sealing components provide reliable sealing performance for demanding applications.
Hardened sealing surfaces provide improved wear resistance and longer service life under continuous rotational contact.
Dynamic elastomeric sealing provides effective sealing during continuous rotation, not only in static or intermittent conditions.
Suitable options are available for cryogenic applications and low-temperature operating conditions, down to −100 °C.
Nine different styles are available to meet various application requirements and pipework geometries.
An additional dust seal helps improve sealing life and protects the sealing components from external contaminants.
The exclusive step ball raced arrangement is what allows the 6000 Series to rotate smoothly while holding pressures up to 400 Bar — the raceway carries the load that would otherwise be transferred onto the sealing components.
The special ball raced arrangement provides smooth rotation at the joint's rated speed of up to 10 RPM, without the stick-slip behaviour that accelerates seal wear.
Hardened sealing surfaces provide improved wear resistance and longer service life where the seal maintains contact through continuous rotation.
Dynamic elastomeric sealing provides effective sealing during continuous rotation — specified for movement, not only for static pressure containment.
An additional dust seal protects the sealing components from external contaminants, improving sealing life in dusty or exposed installations.
The 6000 Series is supplied in the style and connection standard that matches the pipework layout and operating conditions at the machine end.
Nine different styles are available to meet various application requirements, covering the range of pipework geometries and movement patterns found on moving industrial equipment.
Suitable options are available for cryogenic applications and low-temperature operating conditions, extending the joint's usable range down to −100 °C.
Flange mounted connections are available to DIN, ANSI, or PN standards, in sizes from 1″ to 25″ or customised to the installation.
