DCD DESIGN/CABLE SPINNING EQUIPMENT 00503-245 Dub-lite Swivel Swl 90,000 Lb 6" Dia. NEW
The clevis/clevis style of swivel is the most common type and is the best for distributing side loads applied on the swivel due to its ability to pivot at either end. It does not allow the operator to push back without proper care and attention or the swivel may fold back on itself. Before rotation is re-commenced, the line must be pulled straight or damage may occur to the swivel, as well as potential harm to nearby operators.
DCD DESIGN/CABLE SPINNING EQUIPMENT recommends that some type of restrictor be used to prevent the swivel from pivoting at the front or reamer end. For swivels 00503-204 to 00503-215, the clevis is deeper at the leading end to allow the fool-proof design of a lug that would prevent more than minimal movement of the swivel away from the axis of rotation and also ensures the swivel is pulled in the right direction.
