Sludge adherence reduction type (Auto Flush)

We will introduce the rotary joint with “Auto Flush” system
that reduces sludge adherence in the rotary joint and extends the life
as one of the reliable technipue which is mostly cosidered in the rotary joint for machine tool.

We will introduce a comparison video of rotary joint with “Auto Flush” system developed by RIX.
This system is a new technology that dramatically improves the biggest factor that causes leaks (opening/closing operation failure [sludge adherence] caused by sludge contained in coolant).

In case of conventional rotary joints, since coolant is used for circulation,
there are many contained particles such as small sludge.
On prosess to supply the coolant continuously,
sludge accumulates and adheres at the sliding part of rotaty joint.
This causes trouble of leakage.

Sludge adherence trouble is accounted around 60% of the leakage trouble of the rotary joint.

Sludge adherence trouble is caused by accumulated sludge adherence  to the sliding part of the rotary joint. 
For this problem, “Auto Flush” system of RIX resolve the accumulated sludge adherence with the simple method.

By making the flow path from sliding gap to main passage, generate the ejectors effect by speed of fluid which passing through the main passage.
With this effect, generate the flowage from sliding gap to the main passage.
Thereby, can reduce deposition of sludge in the sliding gap.

In case of conventional rotary joints, sludge accumulates and adheres, but RIX rotary joints
with "Auto Flush" system resolve sludge accumulation and extend the life of the rotary joint.

This technology of RIX is patented as No. 5063804.
