The Kadant Johnson ELS (Extended Life Series) rotary joint is a self-supported joint that has been specifically designed to solve accelerated wear problems that occur with conventional self-supported rotary joints particularly those in high vibration applications. The double-guide design provides internal support for the joint and maintains alignment even when the roll or cylinder is not concentric. The ELS is available in single-flow or with stationary syphon dual-flow configurations for steam service. Sizes range from 1.25 up to 10 and the joint is rated up to 343 C (650 F), 20 bar (310 psig) and 200 RPM.
