New from OTT-Jakob and available exclusively in the UK from Gewefa is the 2KA-ME rotary union offering a simple, compact, all-in-one clamping condition monitor that combines proven rotary union technology with an innovative distance measurement system. 

With modern machine tools, the availability of information about the clamping condition of the tool is absolutely essential in order to comply with safety guidelines. OTT’s dual-passage rotary union 2KA-ME makes it possible to supply hydraulic oil for unclamping operations through one passage whilst feeding another medium (e.g. coolant) through the second passage.
