The invention discloses a novel high pressure-resistant maintenance-free rotary compensator, which belongs to the technical field of thermodynamic piping compensators. The rotary compensator comprises an inner rotatable pipe (1), an outer sealing sleeve (2), a structural pipe flange (7), a structural pipe (9), flexible graphite packing (10), a U-shaped seal ring (11), an inner rotatable pipe boss (12), a graphite seal ring (14), an outer sealing sleeve base (15) and the like. The outer sealing sleeve (2) is sleeved on the outer circular surface of the inner rotatable pipe (1), and the inner rotatable pipe boss (12) is arranged on the inner rotatable pipe (1); the graphite seal ring (14) is arranged between the inner end surface of the outer sealing sleeve base (15) and the inner rotatable pipe boss (12); the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped seal ring (11) faces the port of the joint between the inner rotatable pipe (1) and the structural pipe (9), and the U-shaped seal ring (11) is embedded into the flexible graphite packing (10); and the structural pipe flange (7) is integrated with the structural pipe (9), which is an integrated straight pipe section. Since the structure is adopted, the quality of the connecting welds of a piping can be conveniently detected, and the rotary compensator is characterized by high precision, low friction coefficient, low torque, high bending resistance, high pressure-bearing capability, reliable sealing, little pressure loss, unlimited medium flow direction, excellent performance, safe and reliable piping operation and sealing material replaceability.
