A rotary feed-through, designed to transfer a fluid between two entities in rotary motion with respect to one another. The rotary feed-through includes an inner cylindrical ring and an outer cylindrical ring, which are free to turn with respect to one another and provided with channels for passage of the fluid. The channels are connected via at least one annular space axially delimited by seal rings housed in a cylindrical seat. The cylindrical seat faces radially outwards or inwards and is axially delimited, on one side, by an axial abutment of the inner and outer cylindrical rings and, on the other side, by an axial abutment of a lid, a closing ring, or an intermediate ring. The seal rings are interference fitted to the inner or outer cylindrical ring and provided with an elastic portion for contact with the surface of the inner or outer cylindrical ring.
A rotary feed-through designed to transfer a fluid between two entities, one of which is in rotary motion with respect to the other, said rotary feed-through comprising two coaxial cylindrical components, defined, respectively, as inner cylindrical ring and outer cylindrical ring, which are free to turn with respect to one another and are respectively provided with one or more inner channels and one or more outer channels for the passage of said fluid, each of said one or more inner channels and each of said one or more outer channels being connected via at least one annular space, each annular space being axially delimited by two seal rings, said seal rings being housed in a cylindrical seat of said inner cylindrical ring or of said outer cylindrical ring, said cylindrical seat facing respectively radially outwards or inwards and respectively being axially delimited on one side by an axial abutment made of a single piece with or coupled to said inner cylindrical ring or said outer cylindrical ring, and on the other side by an axial abutment of a lid coupled in a removable way to said inner cylindrical ring or of a closing ring or of an intermediate ring, which are coupled in a removable way to said outer cylindrical ring, said seal rings being respectively interference fitted to said inner cylindrical ring or to said outer cylindrical ring and being provided with an elastic portion for contact with the surface respectively of said outer cylindrical ring or of said inner cylindrical ring;
