Elastomeric or rubber O-Rings find their way into many applications, whether it be highly technical aerospace equipment or budget-friendly consumer products. This typically is for good reason: unassuming O-Rings provide a great sealing interface in most situations, are easy to install, and are available on-the-shelf for minimal cost.

Rotary unions are mechanical devices that allow the transfer of a liquid or gas media from a stationary input to an output that is rotating. Rotary unions are found in industries across the board, from compact units in hi-tech robotics to large industrial hydraulic units for construction equipment.
