Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005820

A mechanical joint that permits rotation of an attached part around a single axis. This allows for angular movement or changes in direction without twisting the connecting components, such as hoses or cables. Swivels are rated by their maximum working load and the type of connection they provide, such as threaded or flanged.
