Rotating union / swivel joint / ball and socket joint
Movable pipework systems that cover high pressure and temperature ranges are increasingly required in industry. Rixen swivel joints fulfil these requirements for use in both swivel and permanent swivel applications. Pipe joint shears, presses, loading and swivelling arms, filling systems, in rolling mills, on walking beam furnaces, stack presses for chipboard in the timber industry, in the waste water sector and feeds for rotating bodies are proven areas of application.
We produce ball-and-socket joints of the highest quality - both developed in-house and based on your 3D CAD models.
