A rotary joint, also known as a rotary union or swivel joint, is a mechanical device that allows the transfer of fluids (liquids or gases) from a stationary source to a rotating component.
Rotary joints work by using seals and bearings to enable a secure and leak-free connection between stationary and rotating parts, allowing fluid to pass through while accommodating rotational movement.

When selecting a rotary joint, consider the following factors:
01. Type of fluid being transferred
02. Operating pressure and temperature
03. Rotational speed
04. Load capacity
05. Environmental conditions
06. Material compatibility
Regular maintenance of rotary joints includes:
01. Inspecting seals and bearings for wear and damage
02. Ensuring proper lubrication
03. Checking for leaks and tightening connections as needed
04. Replacing worn or damaged parts promptly
