Vacuum rotary union LT 8

for gasfor air8-passage

Overview
The 8-passage LT Series rotary unions are designed for air, gas and vacuum use and are ideal for automation and robotic applications. These lightweight, compact rotary unions feature an all-aluminum construction and eight independent flow passages capable of transferring different media simultaneously. LT 8-passage models come standard with threaded side connections on the shaft and housing and are available with optional shaft O-ring face seal glands for flush mounting.

Key Features

• All-aluminum construction (anodized housing)
• Eight independent flow passages for simultaneous transfer of different media
• Standard threaded side connections on shaft and housing
• Optional O-ring face seal glands for flush mounting (must be specified when ordering)
• Integrates directly with standard electrical slip rings for combined fluid and electrical transfer
• Optional interface mounting: shaft flange mount and housing flange mount
