SWIVELS Meaning and Definition

1. Swivels are mechanical devices that allow rotational movement or pivoting around a central point or axis. They are commonly used to facilitate rotation in various systems and equipment, allowing for smooth movement in any direction. Swivels are typically designed as a combination of two or more interconnected components, allowing them to rotate independently from each other.

   A swivel typically consists of a central rotating joint or bearing, which enables the desired rotational movement. This rotating joint is often equipped with ball bearings or other types of bearings to reduce friction and ensure smooth and effortless rotation. The joint is usually enclosed within a housing or casing, providing protection and support to the swivel assembly.

   Swivels are commonly found in various applications and industries, including automotive, manufacturing, marine, aerospace, and household items. They are particularly useful in scenarios where unrestricted rotation or multi-directional movement is required, such as in steering mechanisms, cranes, pulleys, cameras, office chairs, and fishing reels.

   Overall, swivels serve as versatile and essential components in many systems, enabling efficient and smooth rotational movement. They provide flexibility and ease of use, allowing objects or equipment to change orientation or direction with minimal effort and friction.
