Eye-to-Eye Rigging Swivel
Swivel Connector for Crane and Rigging Assemblies
An eye-to-eye rigging swivel is a metal connector with two closed eyes and a rotating joint. It is used in compatible wire-rope, chain and rigging assemblies to orient connected elements and reduce unwanted twisting. Working load and duty must be confirmed from the documentation for the selected product.

What Is an Eye-to-Eye Rigging Swivel?
An eye-to-eye swivel is a rotating connection link for compatible rigging components. It can join wire ropes, chains, slings, shackles and other components when the assembly requires controlled relative orientation around the connection axis.
Industrial rigging tasks
It is selected for lifting, installation and maintenance work only after the load and dimensions are confirmed.
Controlled duty
The actual use depends on the product documents, force direction and operating conditions.
Swivel Construction and Working Principle
The product has two closed eyes and a central rotating joint. The eyes connect to compatible components through suitable pins, shackles or links according to the assembly drawing.
Before installation, check free movement, body condition, deformation, markings, dimensions and consistency with the supplier documentation.
Selection note
A rotating joint alone does not prove approval for continuous rotation of a suspended load.

Rigging and Crane Applications
Wire-rope assemblies
Connecting compatible wire-rope sections and rigging components according to the assembly scheme.
Chains and slings
Building chain or wire-rope slings when WLL, dimensions and force direction are compatible.
Installation and maintenance
Replacing a connector in an industrial system after checking the documentation and assembly requirements.
Regular vs Bearing Swivels
| Regular positioning swivel | Special bearing swivel |
|---|---|
| Helps orient a connection into the required position. | Designed for rotation in a specified duty. |
| Approval for rotation under load must not be assumed from appearance. | Has direct manufacturer confirmation for the relevant load and duty. |
| Parameters are selected from the passport and assembly scheme. | Selected by WLL, speed, torque and operating conditions. |
A regular G402-type analogue should not be treated as a product for continuous rotation of a suspended load without supporting documentation.
How to Select the Right Swivel
- Define WLL. Provide the working load, scheme and duty.
- Check geometry. Eye, pin and connecting-element dimensions are required.
- Confirm compatibility. Consider the rope, chain, sling, shackle and force direction.
- Confirm the duty. Rotation under load requires specific approval.
- Request documents. Send photos, dimensions, quantity and delivery city.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an eye-to-eye swivel used for?
It connects compatible ropes, chains, slings and other rigging elements while allowing relative orientation through the central joint.
Can it be used for crane work?
Only after the WLL, dimensions, assembly scheme and intended use of the selected product are confirmed.
Can it rotate a suspended load?
Not from appearance alone. That duty requires direct manufacturer approval for the relevant product.
How is it different from a shackle?
A shackle normally forms a fixed removable connection, while a swivel has a central joint for relative rotation of its parts.
Which eye dimensions are needed?
Provide the clear eye opening, pin diameter and the dimensions of the connecting component.
How do I select WLL?
Send the load, scheme, duty and environment; WLL is confirmed from the documentation for the selected execution.
Can it connect to wire ropes?
Yes, when geometry, WLL and the connection method meet the assembly requirements and product documents.
Which documents can I request?
Passport, certificates and marking details are confirmed for the batch and supplier.
How do I buy with delivery in Kazakhstan?
Send a photo, dimensions, quantity and city, and we will prepare price and lead time.
