Swivel Eye Eye - Stainless Steel - 8mm - Silver

316-grade stainless steel offers superior resistance to corrosion and rust compared to other grades, making it ideal for harsh environments like saltwater marine applications.

It means the swivel has a loop or eye at both ends, designed for direct attachment to other components like chains, ropes, or shackles.

The swivel has a breaking load of 1600kg. However, you must always consider the safe working load limit (WLL) of your entire system, which is significantly lower than the breaking load and should be determined by a qualified professional or engineering standards.

Yes, it is designed for load-bearing applications up to its rated capacity. Always ensure the swivel and the entire rigging system are rated for the specific load and used according to safety guidelines.

Rinse the swivel with fresh water after each use, especially in saltwater, to remove salt deposits. Periodically inspect for wear and ensure it rotates freely. Minor surface rust can be cleaned with appropriate stainless steel cleaners.

Yes, the primary function of this swivel is to allow rotational movement between two connected components, thereby preventing the chain or rope from twisting and tangling.

The dimensions are: A (Diameter) - 8mm, B (Overall Length) - 34mm, C (Eye Width) - 20mm, D (Eye Thickness) - 8mm, E (Eye Length) - 19mm.

Clean the swivel thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt, dirt, or debris. Inspect for any foreign objects lodged in the mechanism. If the issue persists, consider applying a marine-grade lubricant to the pivot point.

While 316 stainless steel offers high resistance, extreme conditions can still cause minor surface rust. Clean with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For persistent rust, consult specialized stainless steel cleaning products. Inspect for pitting; significant pitting may indicate compromised integrity.

Do not use the swivel if the eyelet connection points show significant wear, deformation, or cracks. Replace the swivel immediately to ensure safety and prevent failure.

This indicates the load exceeded the swivel's breaking point (1600kg) or its safe working load limit. Immediately cease use and replace the swivel. Review the entire system's load calculations to ensure all components are rated appropriately.
