Swivels
Swivels permit a rotating connection without transmitting twist back to upstream rigging. Use in flag lines, marine anchor rigging, livestock tethers and any application where the load can spin on itself without rotating the line that holds it.
Also known as: Eye Swivel, Stainless Swivel, Rigging Swivel, Anti-Twist Swivel.
Stainless A4-70 G316 Eye & Eye swivels in 6mm x 65mm and 8mm x 94mm. Both eyes rotate independently around a central pin allowing free rotation.
GRADES AND MATERIALS
Stainless A4-70 G316 (marine grade): 700 MPa minimum tensile, 316-family austenitic stainless with added molybdenum (2-3%) for chloride-pitting resistance. The standard for direct saltwater exposure, ocean spray, chlorinated pool plant and food-grade processing. Largely non-magnetic - cold-formed sections may show slight residual magnetism from manufacture.
INSTALLATION AND USE
Connect the two eyes to the upstream and downstream rigging via shackles, snap hooks or direct attachment. The swivel rotates freely on the central pin. Inspect the pin periodically for wear - a worn pin can develop play that affects load transmission.
A NOTE ON GALLING
Stainless threads can gall under tension - apply a thin film of nickel-based anti-seize from the Anti-Seize range to the male thread before assembly. Tighten slowly, never with an impact driver.
SIZE AND WLL
6mm body = ~250kg WLL; 8mm body = ~500kg. The body diameter is the load-bearing dimension. Per-SKU spec on every product page.
