Swivel joint 245 kN 24,5 tons ⌀ 22 mm F250.R.18.1

Swivel joint 24,5 t F250.R.18.1

Swivel joint for ropes and conductors.

The steel swivel joint with plain bearing is a specially designed strain relief device (cable swivel).

Primarily used for connecting sections of traction cable.

Suitable for passing through capstans.

Prevents excessive twisting.

Its shape reduces tension on the loops as they pass through the capstans – the loops run on special pivot pins.

• Easy to open.
• Made of high-strength, galvanized steel, it features a thrust bearing for easy rotation.
• An Allen key is required for the cable fastening screws.

Swivel Joint with plain bearing for pulling steel cables with cable winches

A swivel with plain bearing is an essential accessory for professional pulling of steel cables with a cable winch (winch), especially when laying high- and medium-voltage lines. This component effectively prevents the transfer of torsional forces (twist) from the rope to the connected components, resulting in a longer service life of the entire system.

Due to their design, steel ropes tend to twist during the pulling process. This can lead to damage or malfunctions at sensitive connection points or in the rope guide. The swivel compensates for this twisting with a freely rotating bearing – the integrated plain bearing ensures low-friction rotation even under high tensile forces.

Swivels are available in various sizes and load classes and are installed between the steel rope and the cable or device being pulled. They are typically made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum alloys, making them ideal for outdoor use.

Especially when combined with hydraulic or electric cable winches, swivels increase work safety and ensure trouble-free rope retraction. They are easy to install and low-maintenance, making them an essential part of any professional cable pulling equipment.

By using a high-quality swivel with a plain bearing, unnecessary downtime can be avoided and efficiency on the construction site can be significantly increased.
