Patent number: 10994576Abstract: A rotary joint is configured to transfer a fluid between two entities, one of which is in rotary motion with respect to the other. The rotary joint comprises a cylindrical internal element, apt to be fixed to the entity in rotary motion, and a plurality of annular external elements. The external elements comprise at least two head elements, at least two housing elements of respective gaskets, two bearing elements, and at least one fluid inlet. The fluid inlet is placed between said two bearing elements. Housing elements of respective gaskets are arranged externally to the bearing elements, and head elements are arranged externally to the housing elements. The gaskets define an annular shaped sealed area.
