Product catalog summary

Installation Guide Overview

This document provides installation instructions for Rotary Systems' Series 013, 015, 017, 019, 021, 023, 025, and 027. It outlines the proper use and mounting procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the rotary union.

1. Connection of Fittings

All fittings should be connected to the housing before installation.
Avoid using rigid piping to prevent compromising the union's lifespan.
Use flexible hoses with a slight bend to maintain flexibility and ensure they can handle the working pressure safely.
Hoses should be properly supported to avoid side loading the union.

2. Anti-Rotation Method

Implement a preferred anti-rotation method that allows the union to find its center.
Avoid hard mounting both the rotor and housing of the union.
Options include using an anti-rotation fork around a housing fitting or an anti-rotation bracket mounted to the rear of the housing.

3. Fastening the Rotor Flange

Ensure the counterbore is machined to the correct depth with a finish of 32 RMS or better.
Tighten fasteners evenly in a crisscross pattern to the specified requirements.

MAKE SURE BOLT PATTERN ON TO REQUIRED BOLT SPECS; STUDS MAY BE USED. FORK DETAIL SCALE: NONE PROPER USE AND MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Connect all fittings to housing prior to installation. • Do not use rigid piping as this will compromise the life of the union. • The hose should be flexible and have a slight bend. - Extreme bends can reduce the flexibility of the hose. • The rubber hose selected should be able to safely handle the working pressure. • The hose should be properly supported & should not side load the union. 2. Attach your preferred method of anti-rotation. Anti-rotation must allow the union to find its center. Do not hard mount both the rotor and housing of the union. • An anti-rotation fork placed around one of the housing fittings • An anti-rotation bracket mounted to the rear of the housing 3. Fasten the rotor flange to the machine. • Make sure the c'bore is machined to the proper depth and the finish is 32 RMS or better. • Tighten the fasteners evenly using a crisscross pattern to their required specification. www.rotarysystems.com SYSTEMS INC ©2010 Rotary Systems, Inc
