Product catalog summary
Introduction to Filton Limited: Filton Limited, founded by Mr. William Murray, specializes in manufacturing swivel joints and rotary seals, focusing on quality through rigorous inspections and pressure testing.

Health and Safety: Proper installation and use of swivel joints are crucial for safety. Regular inspections are necessary to prevent hazardous leakages that could lead to bearing seizure.

What are Swivel Joints? Swivel joints facilitate leakproof fluid transfer in rotating machinery, suitable for factory environments with clean, particle-free fluids.

Specifications and Applications: The document outlines various swivel joint types, including NHP, LD, XP, XP/RS, XP/MT, and XP/MO, each with specific guidelines for operation, fluid compatibility, pressure, temperature, speed limits, and flow capacities. Applications include flexible hoses, indexing machines, and hose reels.

NHP Swivel Joint: Designed for slow, occasional movements with a maximum pressure of 85 bar and temperature of 100°C, compatible with water, mineral oils, and lubricated compressed air.

LD Swivel Joint: Suitable for slow continuous rotation with a maximum pressure of 10 bar and temperature of 100°C, compatible with water, mineral oils, lubricated air, and natural gas.

XP Swivel Joint: Suitable for high-pressure systems with a maximum pressure of 200/400 bar and temperature of 80°C, used for slow continuous rotation.

XP/RS Swivel Joint: A double channel unit for slow continuous rotation with a maximum pressure of 300/400 bar and temperature of 80°C.

XP/MT Swivel Joint: Features a threaded interface for slow continuous rotation with a maximum pressure of 300/400 bar and temperature of 80°C.

XP/MO Swivel Joint: Includes an 'O' ring sealed interface for slow continuous rotation with a maximum pressure of 300/400 bar and temperature of 80°C.

Special Swivel Joints: Filton offers custom services for applications not covered by standard products, including multi-port swivel joints and leakage detection systems.

Other Products: Filton manufactures rotary unions for fluid transfer in rotating machinery, available in various sizes and bearing options for different temperature and pressure ranges.

Rotary Unions: Operate at pressures up to 70 bar and speeds up to 3000 rpm, with custom designs available for special requirements.

Mechanical Seals: The ROLTAC® Mechanical Seals range includes balanced internally mounted seals conforming to DIN 24960 standards for shaft diameters between 25 to 100mm, with externally mounted seals available for shaft diameters from 19 to 75mm.

Air Breather Filters: These devices equalize pressure and prevent abrasive ingress in closed chambers, with filter elements retaining particles from 5 to 65 micrometres.

Specialist Seals: Filton addresses unique rotary shaft sealing applications using their extensive experience and data bank.

Swivel Joints- Product Brochure-2

Swivel Joints are sealing devices which allow the leakproof transfer of fluid to and from slow and intermittent rotatingmachinery.These products are intended for use in a factory environment. Contact us if the installation is subjected to climatic conditions.A few typical applications are shown on p3. Fluids should be free of abrasive particles and water systems should be treated if scalingӔ is likely to occur. The majority of FILTON SWIVEL JOINTS use industrial standard ball bearings. These have the distinct advantage that sparebearings are available anywhere in the world. These bearings do...
