Rotary action transfer can cause several issues during system assembly. These issues include damage to the sealing beads, galling, and over-tightening. Learn more about rotary action transfer and how Hy-Tech Fittings can help you avoid it.
Rotary action transfer is the unintentional twisting or rotational movement that occurs in fittings or assemblies when torque is applied. The applied torque can be transferred from one part to another, causing issues potentially including but not limited to:
- Damage to seal
- Gasket damage
- Misalignment
- Wear and tear
- Reduced fitting life
