2.1 Intended
use
Maier rotary joints are devices which may only be used to connect pressurized pipes to
rotating pressurized systems. Typical examples of such rotating pressurized systems are
rollers through the inside of which flow liquids or steam in order to heat or cool down the
rollers. Series DX/DXS rotary joints are designed for water. Other fluids are possible;
please contact the manufacturer. Please refer to the section "Specifications and Spare
Parts" for approved fluids and their qualities and limits; this information must be observed
in the application.
Never modify the rotary joint as this may cause hazards. Install, operate and maintain the
rotary joint only as described in these operating instructions. We shall not be liable for
any damage and interruption whatsoever caused by failure to adhere to the operating in-
structions.
Always comply with all national and local regulations applicable at the installation site as
well as all regulations concerning the prevention of accidents.
Use only genuine Maier spare parts or Maier-approved standard norm parts for repairs. If
you use other parts, this may have adverse effects on the safety of the unit.
