What rotary swivels are used for in hydraulic systems
Rotary swivels are essential components in hydraulic and fluid transfer systems where rotation and fixed connections must work together. They allow oil flow to pass through rotating parts without twisting or damaging hoses. At HBS Valves, rotary swivel joints are engineered for demanding mobile and industrial applications, including excavators, cranes, agricultural machinery and custom hydraulic equipment.
The product range includes models from 1 connection swivel joints up to 22 connections, providing solutions for both simple and highly complex hydraulic circuits.
Wide selection of rotary swivel joints
HBS Valves offers one of the most extensive rotary swivel portfolios in the market. Each configuration is designed to support specific system layouts, flow requirements and rotation needs. Depending on the machine design, customers can select from:
-
Single-connection rotary swivels for straightforward oil transfer
-
Multi-connection swivel joints for systems with separate hydraulic functions
-
High-port-count rotary swivels (up to 22 connections) for advanced, multifunctional machinery
All swivel joints are built to maintain reliable sealing, low friction and smooth rotation, even under high pressure and continuous operating cycles.
Durability and efficiency in rotating applications
Rotating components in hydraulic machinery are subjected to constant movement, varying loads and high pressure. HBS Valves develops rotary swivels that ensure long service life and efficient system performance. Key benefits include:
-
Stable oil flow through rotating structures
-
Protection of hoses from twisting or premature wear
-
Low maintenance due to robust internal sealing systems
-
Smooth rotation for accurate machine operation
These features make HBS rotary swivels suitable for continuous-duty applications and environments where reliability is critical.
Rotary swivels for industrial and mobile machinery
From compact machinery with single hydraulic functions to large construction equipment requiring multiple independent oil circuits, HBS rotary swivels are used across various industries. With options ranging from 1 to 22 connections, system designers and OEMs can configure the ideal swivel joint for each machine.
Whether your application requires compact size, multiple ports or high-pressure operation, HBS Valves provides rotary swivel solutions that match modern hydraulic system demands.
