Unit for transmitting fluids and electrical signals with thermal decoupling

Abstract

The present invention relates to a combined rotary feed-through having stationary and rotating contact parts for transferring fluids, data and electrical energy, comprising a housing, which has a fluid unit as a rotary feed-through for fluid connection in the connection-side region of the housing, said fluid unit having at least one feed port and at least one discharge port and a rotatable shaft, and the housing also having at least one communication unit as a rotary feed-through for transmitting electrical signals in an operation-side region of the housing, said communication unit having at least one electronic connection point. The combined rotary feed-through also comprises at least one supply unit for transmitting electrical energy as a rotary feed-through on the end face of the operation-side region of the housing, said supply unit having at least one electrical connection point. In the housing, at least one intermediate element is formed between the fluid unit and the communication unit, and at least one transition is formed between the operation-side region of the housing and the supply unit located outside the housing on the end face.
