OPW Engineered Systems Swivel Joints
  • Fabricated and cast ball bearing swivel joints
  • Precision machining
  • 100% penetration welding
  • Moveable, flexible, reliable
1. Tight Seals
O-rings are used to provide a tight seal without hindering swivel action. Because the grooves are accurately machined and micro-finished, wear is minimal. available seals include Buna-N, Viton, Teflon©, EPT, Neoprene, and even Kalrez© or other specialty seals as needed. All Teflon seals are spring energized, with a 316 stainless steel garter spring.


2. True Ball Bearing Race Alignment
Body and tail sections are locked together by a double row of ball bearings. Raceways are machined to precise tolerances. This double race design assures proper alignmentand prevents binding caused by temperature changes or heavy radial loads. Carbon steel swivels have hardened races to maximize load carrying capability.

3. Protected Bearing Chamber
Product can't enter the bearing chamber because of the protective inner O-ring seal. An outer seal keeps rain, dirt, and other contiminants out. Both seals hold lubricant in.


4. Long-Life Bearings

5. Easy Lubrication

6. No Field Adjustment Necessary
