Line String Swivels – 505 Series

PRODUCT #505

DCD Line Swivel are typically constructed with a thrust bearing for tensile load and a radial bearing for bending load. They combine a high safe working load with a compact design.

DCD has recently added Locking Line Swivels (e.g. 00505-000A) to their product line these are typically constructed with a Bronze thrust bearing for tensile load and a Radial bearing for bending load. They combine a high safe working load with a compact design. All sizes incorporate an oil seal and are manufactured from high strength Stainless Steel. Due to the use of a Bronze bearing in place of a Roller bearing, rotation will only continue up to a certain load, much less than the Safe Working Load. Once past this point, then rotation will only occur when pulling tension is relieved.

Sizes up to and including 00505-040 are manufactured from high strength Stainless Steel. The
three largest sizes shown on the Specification Sheet are manufactured from special Alloy Steel
and are Black Oxide coated. The different material allows higher working loads while retaining
a compact design.

All sizes incorporate an oil seal and sizes 00505-020 and larger are supplied with a grease point
for lubrication. This is particularly useful if used if used in overhead applications where high speed
rotation is possible and lubrication is suggested after each use.

All sizes of both types are pull tested to verify the 3:1 safety factor and all sizes are fully capable of
rotation at full working load. Test certificates are available upon request.

Sizes 00505-025 & 00505-025A and larger are supplied with hexagon Clevis Pins. Smaller sizes
have slotted Clevis Pins.

Benifits:

• Compact design
