Swivel fittings

INDEXATOR swivel fittings are produced with the same passion for precision and quality as we are used to from INDEXATOR as the market leader in the manufacture of forest rotators . Many large forest machine manufacturers use INDEXATOR products as original equipment .

The swivel fittings from INDEXATOR are specifically designed for the requirements of today's hydraulic hose systems.

What are the advantages of rotary screw connections from INDEXATOR?

• Free rotation: The swivel fittings rotate freely and continuously - even with extreme pressure peaks
• High pressure: INDEXATOR swivel fittings can withstand high Operating pressure pressure over a long period of time
• Fewer hose changes: well-functioning swivel fittings extend the service life of the hydraulic hoses. You save money and labor.
• Shorter hoses: The hose lengths can be reduced with reliable swivel fittings. You not only save weight, but also enable straighter and therefore safer hose routing.
• No pressure loss: There is no frictional heat that can disrupt the hydraulic system
• Reduces oil leaks: important for occupational safety and the environment
• Compact design, low weight
• INDEXATOR offers a wide range of different sizes, dimensions and thread standards

What models are there?

INDEXATOR offers two series that differ in terms of their bearings:

• IDL: with ball bearings
• K100: with plain bearing

IDL swivel fittings - with ball bearings

The IDL rotating unions with ball bearings have been produced by INDEXATOR for more than 60 years and are widely used in forestry applications . They are of high quality , robust and designed for large quantities of oil. ID L swivel fittings reduce back pressure and do not generate additional frictional heat .

The most important product features at a glance:

• Ball bearings for axial loads
• Double bearings for a long service life
• Needle roller bearings for radial loads
• Seal and support ring for high pressure and reduced risk of oil leakage
• Hardened bearing surfaces for difficult operating conditions
• Dirt-repellent and particle-repellent dust seal

K100 - the modern swivel fittings - with plain bearings

The swivel fittings of the K100 model series can also absorb higher radial forces . K100 are suitable for all mobile applications in which lateral forces also act .

The K100 swivel fittings have a slim design and can therefore be used in tight spaces . Their small outer diameter makes them easier to install .

Further advantages of the K100 swivel fittings from INDEXATOR:

• The resistance to rotation is even lower under pressure - guarantees optimum protection and service life for hydraulic hoses
• Designed for high continuous pressure and strong pressure peaks
• No pressure loss thanks to the large internal diameter
• There is a specially developed seal for the temperature range -30 to +100 degrees Celsius

The rotary screw connections from INDEXATOR are available in 2 designs:

• Internal thread x external thread (IG x AG)
• External x external thread (AG x AG )

INDEXATOR swivel fittings are available with the following thread and sealing options:

• BSPP: British Standard Pipe Parallel
• JIC: Joint Industry Conference
• ORFS: O-Ring Face Seal
• Metric
• ED: Elastomer seals are soft seals

Design: internal thread x external thread

INDEXATOR offers the following options for threads and seals:

• BSPP internal thread x BSPP external thread 60 ° cone (G-IG x G-AG)
• BSPP internal thread x JIC external thread 37 ° cone (G-IG x JIC-AG)
• JIC internal thread x JIC external thread 37 ° cone (JIC-IG x JIC-AG)
• ORFS internal thread x ORFS external thread (ORFS-IG x ORFS-AG)
  
  

Design: external thread x external thread

INDEXATOR offers the following options for threads and seals:

• BSPP external thread 60 ° cone (possibly with ED seal) x BSPP external thread 60 ° cone (G ED-AG x G-AG)
• BSPP external thread 60 ° cone (possibly with ED seal) x JIC external thread 37 ° cone (G ED-AG x JIC-AG)
• JIC external thread 37 ° cone x JIC external thread 37 ° cone (JIC-AG x JIC-AG)
• ORFS external thread x ORFS external thread (ORFS-AG x ORFS-AG)
• M male thread x M male thread (M-AG x M-AG)
• BSPP male thread 60 ° cone with ED seal x M male thread (G ED-AG x M-AG)

Explanation: Why are ED seals used?

• Soft seals in combination with high-quality swivel fittings are ideal for extreme operating conditions
• Low risk of leakage
• Can be reassembled
• Are easy to use
