2.4 Function
Maier rotary joints are devices which allow you to connect stationary pressurized pipes to
rotating pressurized systems. Typical examples of such rotating pressurized systems are
rollers through the inside of which flow liquids, gases or steam, for example in order to
heat or cool down the rollers.
The connection to the stationary pressure system (housing connection) is obtained via
the stationary part of the rotary joint – the housing. Depending on the version of the rotary
joints, the following types can be distinguished:
B-2
Mono versions (single-passage) (DX 1/DXS 1):
housing with one connection for supplying or remov-
ing the fluid to or from the rotating pressure system.
