Product details
The A017 swivel joins two D-shaped eyes through a bearing, so each eye can rotate freely under load. The body is aluminium alloy, the listed breaking strength is 30 kN, and the photograph shows a two-tone anodised finish. The second image is a dimension drawing; the third reproduces the product warning.
Swivels are placed below pulleys, between a rope and a stretcher or load, or between a lanyard and its connector, to stop twisting that would otherwise tangle ropes or spin a suspended person. Large D-shaped eyes accept several connectors, which helps when building rescue or rigging systems. The catalogue entry carries a warning that the swivel is intended for PPE use only, must be used, inspected and maintained according to its PPE instructions, and must not be modified or altered in any way.
Buyers should confirm the eye dimensions against the connectors they plan to use, the colour scheme and marking, and the certification route for their market. Power Honour can supply A017 as private-label equipment or adapt the eye geometry to a customer drawing.
