What is a wire stringing swivel and why is it essential for power line projects?
2025-08-08Answer (from Ningbo Changshi): A wire stringing Swivel is a critical connecting tool used during the installation of conductors and cables. Its primary function is to prevent twisting and torsion from building up in the wire rope or conductor as it is being pulled.
During the stringing process, a conductor can naturally develop rotational stress, especially when navigating curves or obstacles. Without a Swivel, this twisting force would transfer directly to the conductor, potentially causing damage, kinking, or even structural failure. Our high-quality swivels are fitted with robust bearings that allow the conductor to rotate freely, releasing this harmful torque. This not only protects the conductor but also ensures a smooth, safe, and efficient pulling operation, ultimately extending the lifespan of your valuable equipment.
