Swivel with Ball Bearing for Safe Pulling of Steel Ropes Using Cable Winches

A swivel with a ball bearing is an essential tool in professional cable installation, especially when pulling steel ropes with cable winches during the laying of medium- and high-voltage overhead lines. Its primary function is to eliminate torsional forces (twisting) that naturally occur during pulling operations and would otherwise be transferred to connected components, potentially causing damage or system failure.

Due to their construction, steel ropes tend to twist under tension. This can lead to stress at connection points or cable guides. The swivel compensates for these forces by allowing free rotation under load. The integrated ball bearing ensures smooth and reliable rotation even under high pulling forces, without seizing or jamming.

The steel swivel with ball bearing supplied by Amin Power Energy is manufactured to the highest standards and guarantees exceptional performance under heavy-duty conditions. Even during long and demanding operations, it rotates smoothly and efficiently absorbs rope twist, protecting the system and increasing service life.

Swivels are available in a variety of sizes and load classes. They are typically installed between the pulling rope and the cable or equipment being moved. The robust construction from corrosion-resistant steel or aluminum alloys makes them ideal for outdoor and heavy-duty use.

Additional models with different diameters and breaking loads are available in our online shop.

When used with hydraulic or electric cable winches, swivels greatly enhance safety and ensure smooth and continuous cable pulling operations. They are easy to install, low maintenance, and extremely durable – making them a must-have component of any professional cable pulling setup.

A common accessory used in combination with swivels is the cable pulling grip (also known as cable sock), which we also offer in our product range. These grips are manufactured by both Omac-Italy and Amin Power Energy and are available in multiple designs to suit different cable diameters and pulling forces.
