Precision-engineered swivel joint featuring a 360° rotatable collar with positive stop mechanism, designed for compact pneumatic circuits requiring angular tube routing. The hexagonal base allows secure wrench tightening (8mm AF) while the chromium-carbide impregnated bearing surface ensures smooth rotation under load. Includes anti-decoupling safety ridges.
- Tool changer interfaces on CNC machining centers
- Modular pneumatic test bench connections
- Robotic end-effector air supply lines (SCARA/Delta robots)
- Medical device gas delivery systems requiring sterile disconnection
- Semiconductor wafer handling equipment
Installation protocol:
Apply Loctite 577 thread sealant (non-permanent type) and torque to 0.8-1.0 N·m using calibrated hex key.
Perform 5 full rotation cycles post-installation to seat bearings. Avoid side-load exceeding 15N.
