Swivels are essential to the
efficiency and safety of any high tension application. They are
particularly important where continuous pulls develop higher and
higher torque levels. Torque is intensified by the pull-resistance
of the cable itself and the resistance of the high tension
controlling equipment regulating line sag.
Ball bearing swivels release torque and prevent it from reaching
dangerous levels that can damage the cable and obstruct the lines as
it passes through sheaves, wheels or blocks.
