About Taimi
Founded: 2005, in Saint-Prime, Quebec, Canada
Acquisition: Integral part of Helios Technologies, acquired in May 2022
Mission: Improve hydraulic reliability, reduce leaks and service interruptions, extend component lifespan, and minimize environmental impact through innovative designs
01
Ball-less Swivel Couplings
- Taimi’s flagship product: screw-in and cartridge-style swivel couplings (e.g. Swiroll and Swiwell), designed for use in hydraulic manifolds and hose assemblies.
- These couplings eliminate rolling bearings (“ball-less”), resisting up to ~6,000 psi (~420 bar) and significant side or tear loads. They reduce hose torsion, hydraulic shocks, and leakage risk
- Field-proven durability: independent tests showed they lasted six to thirty times longer than conventional swivels in forestry equipment use cases
02
Screw-in Swivel Cartridges
- Compact, rugged cartridges compatible with ORFS, BSPP, and JIC hoses, distributed through Sun Hydraulics channels, integrated into Sun’s catalog and design software since 2023
