Rotating conduit joints
Abstract:
A rotating conduit joint has a pair of conduits engaged with a bearing set. The bearing set has an outer race an inner race separated by ball bearings. The conduits have clearance holes aligned with radial holes in the races. Screw fasteners are engaged with the clearance holes and radial holes to secure the conduits to the bearing set in mutual rotation. The radial holes may be filled with a lubricant. Furthermore, the radial holes may be of constant diameter, conical, or threaded and may be open to the ball bearings to deliver the lubricant to the ball bearings.
