A019 Aluminium Alloy Swivel with Bearing, 30 kN

A019 uses two rounded eyes joined by a bearing, giving free rotation between the two ends. It is made of aluminium alloy, carries a 30 kN breaking strength and is shown in a black finish. Compared with the larger D-eyed A017, A019 has a slimmer profile, as the dimension drawing in the second image shows, which suits single-connector use such as between a lanyard and harness or under a rescue pulley.

Typical uses include keeping energy-absorbing or work-positioning lanyards from twisting, preventing rotation of a suspended worker or stretcher, and connecting a rope to a load that may spin. 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.

When specifying A019, buyers should check eye size against their connectors, choose the finish and marking, and define whether the finished product must meet a particular standard for lanyard components or connectors. Power Honour can manufacture A019 under a customer brand or modify it to a drawing.
