Carr Lane CLR-9281-135 | Two Passage Rotary Coupling

Product Information

7250 psi maxi deal for supplying fluid to rotating or swiveling fixtures. Rotary Couplings are the best option for feeding fluid to rotating pallet changers, due to the continuous fluid connection. A two-passage Rotary Coupling can be mounted on top of each tooling block on a horizontal machining centre to provide pressure and return lines for individual clamping valves. Also ideal for rotary index tables.

Models Available

Two-passage couplings are available in either a standard version or with leakage recirculation. The version with leakage recirculation has an additional port L for recycling the slight amount of fluid lost due to internal bearing leakage. The standard version is optionally available with special seals for low-pressure applications (not required with leakage recirculation) — see Dimensions page for part numbers. For special Rotary Couplings, including variations for manifold mounting, please contact factory.

Design Considerations

In applications with rotary tables, the fluid pressure in the coupling will increase the table's starting-torque requirement and affect maximum rotation speed (see graph). All fluid-supply passages must be connected the power source, to ensure sufficient lubrication of the seals (do not turn the coupling while dry, even before installation). Use only with clean hydraulic fluid (10 micron or better nominal filtration). Use either standard hydraulic fluid (CLR-2-FL) or other hydraulic fluid of the viscosity classes HLP 22, 32, or 46. Allowable operating-temperature range is 50 to 140 Degree.

Mounting

Mount at rotational centre to prevent side loading. Fasten either the top or the bottom half of the coupling (but not both) using the tapped holes provided. If the coupling has steel tubing lines, fastening the other half is not absolutely required, although an anti-rotational key is recommended. Do not use NPT fittings.
