Maier - Rotary unions with the io-key
Predictive maintenance with the right twist
Digital rotary unions for more process and operational reliability
As the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality rotary unions, the maierGROUP has consistently digitalized the monitoring of its components using the autosen io-key.
Rotary unions are indispensable components in all machines with moving components such as rollers, spindles or turntables.

Holidays, the gardening season or the Christmas season cause rapid peaks in demand for the respective items.
