Ball-Bearing Swivel for Reliable Steel Rope Pulling with Cable Winches

A ball-bearing swivel is a critical component in cable installation systems, particularly when pulling steel ropes with cable winches for medium- and high-voltage overhead lines. Its role is to absorb and neutralize torsional stress (twisting) generated during pulling, preventing it from transferring to the cable or connected equipment, thus minimizing the risk of damage and improving system reliability.

Steel ropes are naturally prone to twisting under tension, which can cause mechanical strain or failure at sensitive connection points and guides. A swivel eliminates this issue by allowing the rope to rotate freely under load. The integrated ball bearing ensures consistent, low-friction rotation – even under high tension – without risk of seizing or operational interruptions.

The ball-bearing steel swivel supplied by Amin Power Energy stands out for its outstanding build quality and durability. It performs smoothly even under intense working conditions, effectively counteracting cable twisting and protecting both the equipment and the pulling process from stress and wear.

Swivels are offered in various sizes and load capacities and are typically positioned between the pulling rope and the cable or apparatus being installed. Their robust construction – using corrosion-resistant steel or high-strength aluminum – makes them ideal for use in demanding field environments.

We also offer additional models in different diameters and tensile strengths, available in our online store.

When paired with electric or hydraulic cable winches, swivels significantly enhance operational safety and contribute to smooth, uninterrupted cable pulling. Their simple installation, long service life, and minimal maintenance requirements make them indispensable for any professional cable-laying crew.

Additionally, cable pulling grips (also known as cable socks) are frequently used alongside swivels and are included in our product range. These grips are manufactured by both Omac-Italy and Amin Power Energy, and are available in a wide range of designs tailored to different cable sizes and pulling loads.
