Applications
Thrust bearing swivels are used to prevent wire rope or
chain from transferring their normal twisting motion to
the item being lifted. Green Pin swivels without bearings
®
are not designed to rotate under load, but are intended
as positioning devices only. For rotation under load, thrust
bearing swivels or needle bearing swivels should be used. Our
swivels can be supplied with two types of end fittings.
Range
®
Green Pin offers four types of swivels:
• Grade 8 needle bearing swivels (eye-eye/clevis-clevis), ranging from WLL 1.12 up to 12.8 tons;
• Grade 10 needle bearing swivel (eye-eye) ranging from WLL 1.4 up to 16 tons;
• Swivels (eye-eye/jaw-eye), ranging from WLL 0.39 up to 20.5 tons;
• Thrust bearing swivels (eye-eye), ranging from WLL 1 up to 40 tons.
Van Beest offers a wide range of other swivels to complement the Green Pin assortment.

Design
®
Green Pin swivels are drop forged. Thrust bearing swivels are machined from carbon steel. The range of
thrust bearing swivels we supply are fitted with grease nipples to ensure long life and smooth operation.
The greasing schedule must be adjusted to the frequency and intensity of use. The needle bearing swivels
8 do not require greasing during use.
Each swivel is generally marked with:
• Working Load Limit - e.g. 2.4 t
• manufacturer’s symbol - e.g. GP
• size in mm and/or inch - e.g. 13 and/or /2" or /8"

• traceability code - e.g. HA
• steel grade (specific products) - 8 or 10
• item code (specific products) - e.g. ELR
• origin (specific products) - e.g. France
Finish
Green Pin thrust- and needle bearing swivels are painted. Eye-eye and jaw-eye swivels are hot dipped

galvanized. Grade 8 products were painted yellow or red under the Excel brand. However, grade 8 swivels
under the Green Pin brand will be painted white. Grade 10 products are painted blue and will remain so.
