16-channel pneumatic rotary joint with compact structure suitable for automated rotary platforms and robotic arms

The Q16PM5 is a 16-channel pneumatic rotary union (air slip ring) designed for the continuous transmission of multiple gas lines during rotation. It features a compact design with an outer diameter of 48mm and an overall length of 179mm, equipped with 16 side-mounted M5 ports compatible with 4–6mm tubing. Supporting rotational speeds up to 200 RPM and an operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it enables the continuous and independent transmission of 16 channels of compressed air during rotation. It is suitable for equipment requiring continuous air supply during rotation, such as automated rotary platforms, robotic arms, and rotary tooling fixtures.

• Integrated 16-Channel Independent Air Circuit: Features 16 independent air channels within a compact, disc-shaped structure; each channel allows for independent air supply, meeting requirements for the synchronous or sequential control of multiple actuators.
• M5 Ports Compatible with 4–6mm Tubing: Utilizes standard M5 ports compatible with 4–6mm outer-diameter tubing, ensuring easy connection and broad versatility.
• Side-Mounted Port Layout: Air ports are centrally located on the side to facilitate tubing connection and maintenance while avoiding axial space consumption, making it ideal for compact installations.
• Stable 200 RPM Rotation: Supports rotational speeds up to 200 RPM while maintaining reliable air circuit sealing and zero leakage during dynamic rotation.
• Wide Pressure Range (0–1.0 MPa): Supports an operating pressure range of 0–1.0 MPa, meeting the power requirements of standard pneumatic components such as cylinders, pneumatic grippers, and vacuum generators.
• Organized Mounting Holes: Features 8-M4 (depth 10mm) holes on the rotor side and 2-M4 (depth 8mm) holes on the stator side; the logical layout facilitates rapid assembly and integration.

Multi-channel pneumatic supply simplifies rotary station design
Automated rotary platforms and robotic arms often require simultaneous air supply to multiple cylinders, pneumatic grippers, or vacuum cups. The Q16PM5 replaces traditional stacked-fitting setups with 16 independent channels, significantly reducing the number of tubes and connection points, thereby minimizing leakage risks and enhancing system reliability.

Compact structure saves installation space
With a compact design featuring a 48mm outer diameter and a 179mm total length—combined with well-positioned mounting holes—it integrates easily into rotary tables, indexing plates, or robot joints without consuming excessive axial or radial space.

Side-mounted ports facilitate tubing and maintenance
Side-mounted air ports allow tubing to connect parallel to the equipment's side, resulting in neater routing. Maintenance is more efficient, as air tubes can be quickly connected or disconnected without dismantling axial components.

200 RPM and 1.0 MPa rating balances dynamic performance and power
Supporting speeds of 200 RPM and pressures of 1.0 MPa, the unit meets the cycle-time requirements of high-speed rotary stations while delivering ample power to pneumatic components, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
