How to select

Choose eye-eye where both ends connect to chain or fittings with a hole; choose clevis where one end must bolt to a plate or eye bolt.
Swivels relieve twisting in lifting and towing; size the swivel to the chain or rope diameter it serves.
Confirm the load rating for the exact size when you order — swivels are not all rated for lifting.

Applications

Lifting and hoistingTowing and recoveryMarine and mooringChain and rope anti-twistSuspension and displayAgricultural and utility

Safety & use notes

Swivels reduce twist but are not a substitute for a rated rotating lifting point unless marked.
Keep the swivel clean so it rotates freely.
Withdraw a swivel that is bent, seized or shows worn bearing surfaces.

Model types, related standards and manufacturing

Types & standards

Chain swivel, eye-eye (G-401 / G-402)A rotating link with an eye at each end that keeps the load from twisting the chain or rope in hoisting and towing.
Clevis (jaw) swivel (G-403)One end is a clevis jaw that bolts to a fitting, the other an eye, for applications needing a rigid pinned connection plus rotation.
Round swivel with ringA compact swivel with an integral ring, used where a permanent rotating attachment is needed in a small space.

Manufacturing

How it is made

Components in this group are produced by the route that suits the part — forging for load-bearing items, forming or machining for the rest.
Threads, bores and bearing surfaces are machined and gauged.
Assemblies are put together and checked for movement where they have moving parts.
Surface treatment is applied, then a final visual and dimensional check before packing.

What to check on receipt

The part matches the drawing or sample it was ordered against.
Threads and bores are clean and within tolerance.
No cracks, distortion or sharp edges at the load-bearing points.

FAQ

What does a chain swivel do?

It lets the assembly rotate so the chain or rope does not twist under load during lifting or towing.

Eye-eye or clevis swivel?

Eye-eye connects to chain or holed fittings at both ends; clevis has a bolted jaw at one end for a pinned connection.

Are swivels rated for lifting?

Some are, some are not. We state the working load limit for the exact size you order; do not assume a lifting rating.
