Swivel fittings
Rotary fittings of INDEXATOR produced me the same passion for precision and quality, as we are used to from INDEXATOR as the market leader for the production of Forstrotatoren. Many large manufacturers of forestry machines use products from INDEXATOR as original equipment.
The rotary fittings of INDEXATOR be specifically designed for the demands of today's hydraulic hose systems.
What are the advantages of swivel fittings from INDEXATOR?
- Free rotation: The swivel screw connections rotate freely and continuously - even with extreme pressure peaks
- High pressure: INDEXATOR swivel fittings can withstand high operating 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 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 rotary fittings are built slim for find space 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:
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
INDEXATOR offers the following options for threads and seals:
INDEXATOR offers the following options for threads and seals:
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
