Reliable Air and Vacuum Rotary Unions for Material Handling & Industrial Robotics
High-Performance Rotary Unions for Robotics
Faster cycle rates, tighter packing, increased payloads, and sensor-rich EOAT have raised the bar for robotic manipulation.
DSTI engineers high-performance rotary unions and integrated electrical slip rings for the high cycle rates and duty demands of robotic and material handling applications. DSTI manages engineering, machining, assembly, and qualification in-house under ISO 9001:2015.

Specialized Solutions for End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT)
DSTI's compact rotary unions and integrated slip rings fit robotic wrist envelopes. Continuous 360-degree rotation eliminates cable fatigue and dress pack failures in high-cycle handling.
Weight reduced designs allow for increased payloads.
Load-bearing features transfer motion through the rotary union to the EOAT.
Multi-passage designs combine high-volume vacuum and high-pressure pneumatic lines into a single assembly.

Reliability for High-Volume Material Handling & Conveyor Systems
In distribution centers and sorting facilities, downtime is the biggest risk. DSTI rotary unions and swivel joints are built for continuous operation and extended maintenance intervals.
- DSTI unions provide continuous airflow for pneumatic pushers, diverters, and lifts.
- LT Series and SPS Series unions cover standard factory automation needs, from consolidating multiple pneumatic lines into a single turntable assembly.
- DSTI rotary unions are designed for fast, low-cost seal replacement.
At 100+ cycles per minute, the rotary union is infrastructure. Seal failure is a line shutdown.
Integrated Fluid + Electrical Solutions
Running fluid and electrical systems separately in robotic EOAT creates two wear points, two maintenance intervals, and larger packaging requirements.
DSTI combines fluid transfer, power, signals, and Ethernet into a single rotary interface for continuous rotation. Electrical transfer options:
- Analog and digital signals
- Power up to 600V AC/DC
- Ethernet (100Base-T and 1000Base-T, up to 1 Gbps)
- Combined high-voltage power and Ethernet
- Fiber Optic
Technical Parameters for Robotic Applications
The Strategic Value: Engineered rotary unions for the indexing, conveyor, and pneumatic sortation systems that keep high-speed distribution centers running, minimizing financial risk.
Pneumatic Power for Sorting: Supplies the constant air supply needed for pneumatic pushers, diverters, and lifts in high-speed sorting lines.
Continuous Operation: Runs 24/7 with no maintenance intervals, so distribution facilities stay up and running.
Rotary Indexing Tables: Routes multiple vacuum and gas lines through a single rotating interface for palletizing, rotary storage, and indexing tables.
