Line Swivels

The Line Swivels are typically constructed with a thrust bearing for tensile load and a radial bearing for bending load. They combine a high safe working load with a compact design. All sizes incorporate an oil seal and are manufactured from high strength stainless steel. Our line swivels are designed for cable pulling or hauling in overhead and underground applications.

Locking Line Swivels are typically constructed with a bronze thrust bearing for tensile load and a radial bearing for bending load. The bronze bearing will rotate up to a portion of the safe working load before locking. Once past this point, rotation will only occur when pulling tension is relieved.

Sizes 5,000lbs and larger are supplied with a grease point for lubrication. This is particularly useful in overhead applications where high speed rotation is possible.

All sizes of both types are pull tested to verify the 3:1 safety factor.

Sizes 00505-025 and larger are supplied with hexagon clevis pins. Smaller sizes have slotted clevis pins. Under no circumstances should alternate clevis pins be used.

Permanent peen marking is now standard on all line swivels and material traceability for all batches produced.

Note: Line Swivels are not designed to run around bull wheels and severe damage or injury may be incurred if this is done
