G-Line - Machine Tool Unions

Product catalog summary
Overview
G™ Rotary Unions are precision-engineered components designed for high-speed fluid and air transfer in applications such as machine tools, CNC machines, and drilling equipment. They ensure effective cooling and lubrication with a leak-free seal design and vibration-free operation.
Specifications
The rotary unions come in various types with specific maximum pressure, temperature, and speed ratings. For example, the GA type can handle up to 105 BAR and 120°C at 6,000 RPM, while the GHP type can manage 140 BAR at 32,000 RPM. Overall, the unions operate under pressures ranging from 10 to 150 bar and temperatures up to 120°C, with some models supporting speeds up to 42,000 RPM.

Recommendations
Users should avoid operating the unions at the maximum combination of pressure, temperature, and speed to ensure longevity and optimal performance. Consulting the factory or detailed catalogue for specific application parameters is recommended.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation with flexible hoses is crucial to avoid side loading. Seal faces are lubricated by the media passing through the union, and ball bearings are lubricated for life. Filtration should follow machinery OEM recommendations.
Guarantee and Support
G unions are warranted against manufacturing defects for 12 months. A global sales and service network provides support in over 150 countries.
Conclusion
G™ Rotary Unions are robust and versatile components designed to meet the demanding needs of various industrial applications, offering reliable performance and extended service life.
