Rotary Systems Global Manufacturer of Rotary Unions and Slip Rings
Rotary Systems is the innovative leader for designing and manufacturing standard and customized rotary unions and electrical slip rings. Operating just outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rotary Systems has worked with customers around the world for over 20 years in the rotary union and slip ring markets. To date Rotary Systems has provided products for industries including defense, radar, armored vehicles, government nuclear, and heavy equipment.
Rotary union and slip ring projects for the US Army
Rotary Systems designed a combined hydraulic rotary union – slip ring assembly manufactured for the mine-resistant maintenance and recovery vehicle, part of the RG33 series of armored utility variants. The vehicle offers more volume under-armor than any other mine-protected vehicle for greater survivability against mines and improvised explosive devices. This particular vehicle’s function is to provide heavy cover for two operators while working on the recovery of other vehicles in combat situations.
Rotary Systems also designed a two-passage rotary union providing hydraulics to the Stryker, an armored vehicle with a 105mm rotating cannon. Part of the mobile gun system, the low-profile turret operates with a remote weapon system. The Stryker is capable of reaching speeds up to 60mph and is designed for shoot-on-the-move tactics.
Custom and standard rotary unions
Rotary Systems offers customized solutions for specialized applications along with modifications of standard designs. To date, Rotary Systems has custom-built over 1,000 unique rotating unions with diverse technologies such as mechanical seals, Teflon seals and hydrostatic seals, in addition to the standard single passage and multiple passage unions.
Offering personalized solutions for every vision is Rotary Systems’ solution to the uses and demands of rotary unions that need to vary in size, weight, material types, and applications. Rotary Systems has been a part of manufacturing rotary unions ranging from 20oz to 2 tons and incorporating materials from aluminum to hastelloy in addition to numerous seal and passage options. Our rotary unions are also available with an electrical slip ring option to transfer power, signal, or data with one complete assembly.
Custom and standard slip rings
Similar to our rotary unions, Rotary Systems has been an industry leader in the design and manufacture of slip rings for all applications and industries. Sizes can range from miniature slip ring capsules to large separates, along with assemblies including hundreds of circuits.
Rotary Systems first broke into the slip ring market over 12 years ago to complement its rotary unions, and was the first company globally to offer both rotary unions and slip rings as a single source for integrated assembly. Due to high demand in 2009, Rotary Systems began manufacturing and added standard slip ring options to its product line, still maintaining its presence as the premiere company for both rotary unions and slip rings. These standard options include sealed, capsule, packaged, and industrial slip rings along with separate parts for design.
