FAQs
Common Questions about Rotary Union Combinations
Do you offer standard rotary unions?
Yes, Meridian Laboratory offers standalone rotary unions, or those combined with ROTOCON rotary electrical connectors to provide electrical and fluid/media in a single assembly. Please visit our Rotary Union Combination page for more information on rotary unions.
Can I use a rotary union with a ROTOCON?
Yes! Meridian Laboratory offers standard and custom rotary unions to provide integrated electrical slip ring and rotary union combinations. Additionally, Meridian Laboratory can provide ROTOCON rotary electrical connectors to seamlessly integrate with rotary unions already in use on existing machines and equipment. Regardless of the project details, Meridian Laboratory has the expertise and product knowledge to serve as your single-source solutions provider for all rotary electrical and fluid media needs.

Are rotary unions rebuildable?
Rotary unions are typically rebuildable with new seals and bearings, assuming the mating surfaces are not damaged. For more information surrounding rebuilding rotary unions, please contact us for assistance.
Do you offer custom rotary unions?
Yes, Meridian Laboratory offers both simple customizations to standard rotary unions, as well as fully custom solutions tailored to your specific needs and requirements. To discuss your custom rotary union project, please contact us to get started.
How much torque is required to rotate a rotary union?
The amount of breakaway and rotational torque to rotate a rotary union varies by series and model number. Additionally, environmental factors such as temperature, media, pressure, and more, factor into the torque calculation. For specific information, please contact us for further assistance.
What media types can you pass through a rotary union?
Rotary unions can transfer a broad range of media, including liquids such as water, hydraulic oil, and coolant, as well as gases like compressed air, steam, and nitrogen. They are also capable of handling vacuum and, with specialized hard-faced seals, abrasive slurries. Because the media dictates the internal seal chemistry, unions are specifically configured to handle the unique temperature, pressure, and corrosive requirements of each substance.
