Swivels

SWIVELS
Pipelines, which are rigid structures, can be rendered movable by using our swivel
joints. This is necessary where the use of a hose is unacceptable. The pipelines
maintain their characteristics for carrying fluids and gain the advantage of 360 rotation
in all planes. Our swivel joints are used where easy handling, operational safety and
low-wear characteristics are required. The rotation function is achieved by means of one
or two integrated ball tracks comparable to ball-bearing. The ball tracks are hardened
and precision ground, with the exception of the aluminum version.
HOSE SWIVELS
Developed originally as part of the TODO-MATIC coupling construction, then

subsequently as a stand alone product, the TODO Hose Swivels have proven
themselves in the toughest applications for over 20 years.
Our Hose Swivels are used mainly to allow free hose movement without imparting
torque stresses to the assembly (one of the biggest causes of premature hose failure).
Benefits of the TODO Hose Swivels:
Simple design, low maintenance

Very compact
High flow rate / low pressure drop
Full range of sizes, materials and connections
Stainless steel bearings and single 'O' ring seal for reliability

PTFE SWIVEL JOINT - D2000
Our D2000 - PTFE Swivel Joint is a variant of the basic form. It is internally lined with
PTFE and is equipped with a special seal, making it suitable for extremely aggressive
products.
The ball tracks are encapsulated by two O-rings, neither dirt from the outside nor
product from within (in case of leakage) can reach the ball track.
Should the main seal fail, leakage is indicated through the leak detection port. This port
is PTFE sleeved, thus contact of product with carbon steel components is prevented.
The bearing module with its hardened ball race and the specially designed seals
guarantees a reliable and long life working swivel joint. The bearing module and the
seals can be easily replaced. All carbon steel parts could be made of stainless steel.
The D2000 - PTFE swivel joint is equipped with special flanges. The connection flanges
for the pipes are included in the swivel joint order. These flanges are welded to the pipes
and then PTFE lined as an assembly.

SINGLE TRACK SWIVEL JOINT - D0002
The D0002 Swivel Joint forms the basis for our swivel joints with one ball track. It has a
minimal structural length, minimal external diameter and minimal weight.
The internal flange makes it possible to change the seal without removing the swivel
joint from the pipeline. The D0002 Swivel Joint can be relubricated via grease nipples. If
required, the balls can be removed and replaced by first removing the ball track plug.
This heavy duty Swivel Joint is ideal for most applications. The ball track is hardened
and polished, giving the Swivel Joint a high degree of running precision and long
service life, even under extreme loads. The sealing surfaces are plated with stainless
steel and precision-finished to prevent corrosion, this ensures that the seal that slides
along these sealing surfaces is not damaged and will seal perfectly.

SWIVEL JOINT - D1133
Our D1133 swivel joint is a variant of the basic D0002. It is the ideal swivel joint for
nearly all applications in the chemical industry. It has a minimal structural length,
minimal external diameter and minimal weight.
In the D1133 swivel joint the ball track is encapsulated by two O-rings, neither dirt from
the outside nor product from within (in case of leakage) can reach the ball track. Should
the main seal fail, leakage is indicated through the leak detection ports.
joint from the pipeline. The D1133 swivel joint can be relubricated via grease nipples if
it is not provided with life time grease. If required, the balls can be removed and
replaced by first removing the ball track plug.
The ball track of the steel version is hardened and polished. This gives the swivel joint a
high degree of running precision and long service life, even under extreme loads. The
sealing surfaces are plated with stainless steel and precision-finished to prevent
corrosion, ensuring that the seal that slides along these sealing surfaces is not
damaged and will seal perfectly.
The D1133 swivel joint in stainless steel is used for applications where aggressive
media are encountered internally and externally, and therefore the internal parts as well
as the external parts are made of stainless steel. Depending on the expected load the
ball track can be hardened or unhardened. If hardened, a special alloy is welded into the
raw material before mechanical processing.

TWIN TRACK SWIVEL JOINT - D1010
The D1010 is the standard swivel joint with two ball tracks. It is usually used where large
size swivel joints have to take heavy loads (typically for Emco Wheaton Marine Loading
Arms). Both ball tracks of the carbon steel version are hardened and polished,
giving the swivel joint a high degree of load capacity and long service life, even under
extreme loads.
joint from the pipeline.
The sealing surfaces are plated with stainless steel and precision-finished to prevent
corrosion, ensuring that the seal that slides along these sealing surfaces is not
damaged and will seal perfectly.
The D1010 swivel joint, made of a special aluminum alloy, is not supplied with hardened
ball tracks due to material characteristics, therefore it is only suitable for normal loads.
Aluminum swivel joints have no specially plated seal faces due to the chosen alloy.
The D1010 swivel joint can be relubricated via grease nipples. If required, the balls can
be removed and replaced by first removing the ball track plugs.
