Rotary Unions To Meet Your Fluid Power Needs
Positech’s custom, fluid rotary unions have been used worldwide for more than 40 years. We specialize in building custom rotary unions using transfers fluids (liquids and/or gases) where 360° continuous or oscillating rotation between two machine members is required. Our engineers work one-on-one with you and your team to design a custom rotary union that best fits your needs — plus, we’re well known in the industry for our fast, efficient service.
Quality Designs & Construction
Our process begins with 3D generated design proposals and model supply. This provides for ease of product integration prior to manufacturing approval. You'll receive a custom design review and approval to finalize fit, mounting, and port locations.
DESIGN FEATURES
- Nominal bore sizes from 2 to 10 inches
- Up to 24 passages
- 3 to 36-inch lengths
- Pressures up to 5000 psi
- Variety of porting and connection styles
- Unique environment exclusion, bearing support leakage control options

The complete manufacturing process of our custom rotary unions takes place in our facility in Laurens, IA. Each unit is 100% pressure tested during rotation to assure performance prior to shipment.
Full In-House Capabilities
All custom rotary union manufacturing processes are performed in the Positech facilities: machining, grinding, honing, assembly and testing. The rotary union cases are made of steel, and are bored, drilled, welded, stress relieved, honed, milled and deburred before oil seals are cut into the spool. Almost any kind of port can be put into the spool or case. Chrome plating of the rotary union case ID is available.
