The Experience

Rotary joints are often unessential compared to the cost of a machine or line. But they are essential components for the performance of machines in which they are installed. Critical usage configurations require theoretical and hands-on knowledge with a variety of applications.

Maier has more than 50 years experience in producing rotary joints. We produce more than 1000 versions of standard and custom-made rotary joints, from single passage to multi passage, from DN3 (1/8") to DN 500 (20"). An extensive laboratory for 24h tests 7 day a week is available and makes new products running well from the very beginning.

Repair and Service

An extensive repair center is installed in Heidenheim. Failure analysis and evaluation of rotary joints as well as cost offers are part of our service. We offer repair service in our repair center and local support for customer needs.
