The NMQR series provides smooth, low-friction rotation for transferring air, water, oil and other media in automated systems

The NNT NMQR Series Low Torque Rotary Joint is engineered to provide exceptionally low rotational resistance while transferring media between stationary and rotating parts. With its precision ball bearing design and optimized sealing technology, it minimizes torque requirements for more efficient system operation.
This rotary joint series features a compact, lightweight design that enables high-speed rotation with minimal power consumption. The low torque characteristic reduces motor size requirements and energy usage, making it ideal for applications where efficiency and precision are critical.
Exceptional low rotational resistance reduces motor power requirements and energy consumption significantly.
Space-saving form factor with lightweight construction ideal for applications with size and weight constraints.
Designed for high-speed rotation applications with smooth, balanced operation up to specified RPM limits.
Available with single or multiple passages for transferring different media types simultaneously.
Advanced sealing technology prevents leakage while maintaining low friction during rotation.
Simple mounting and connection with standard interfaces for quick integration into systems.
