OverviewDSTI SE Series 8-passage rotary unions provide eight independent fluid passages in a compact rotary joint designed for confined spaces and high-pressure applications. Standard radial threaded connections are supplied on the shaft and housing (SAE-ORB or BSPP options available). Optional axial O-ring face seals allow face/flush mounting when specified. SE Series units are engineered for direct integration with electrical slip rings to enable combined fluid and electrical transfer.

Features & Options- Eight independent flow passages in a compact package suitable for high-pressure applications.
- Standard radial threaded connections on shaft and housing (SAE-ORB or BSPP available).
- Optional axial O-ring face seal shaft connections (must be specified at time of order).
- Optional interface mountings: shaft flange mount and housing flange mount.
- Designed for direct integration with electrical slip rings for combined fluid and electrical transfer.
- Housing & shaft materials: Carbon Steel with Black Oxide finish (standard plating/coating).
- Typical maximum rating for SE Series: 7,500 PSI [515 BAR] and up to 300 RPM (dependent on configuration and media).
- Applications include Air/Gas, Coolant, Oil/Hydraulic and Water/Glycol (use rust inhibitors for water/glycol; oil/hydraulic media are petroleum-based).
Representative Configuration ExamplePart: SE-1181 [SEM-1181] — Connection: #4 SAE-ORB [G1/8"-28 BSPP] | Passage Size: 0.187" [4.75 mm] | Diameter: 2.937" [74.6 mm] | Length: 7.360" [186.944 mm] | Through Bore: 0.375" [9.525 mm] | Min. Torque*: 70 in-lbs [7.91 Nm]
NotesMinimum torque to rotate is measured at zero pressure using Oil/Hydraulic media (Air/Gas for SPS Series). Required torque may increase with different media or under dry-running conditions. Operational life depends on rotational speed and duty cycle; select seal materials appropriate for temperatures beyond the standard range.
