Edelrid Vortex Ball Bearing Mounted Swivel

Edelrid Vortex Ball Bearing Mounted Swivel

The Edelrid Vortex Ball Bearing Mounted Swivel is a compact ball-bearing swivel rated to 22 kN. At 86 x 39 mm (3.4 x 1.5 in) it drops into a rigging setup without adding meaningful bulk. It stops the rope below it winding up as the load turns.

Features and Benefits

The ball-bearing mechanism is the whole product. Rope twist builds slowly and then all at once, and by the time a hauling line is corkscrewed you are fighting the system instead of using it. A bearing swivel absorbs that rotation continuously.

Additionally, the compact footprint keeps it usable. A swivel that adds significant length between the anchor and the load eats working height, and 86 x 39 mm (3.4 x 1.5 in) is short enough to sit in a system permanently.

Moreover, the aluminium body keeps the weight down for a component that stays clipped in all day, and Edelrid certifies it to PPE-R/11.135.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Use Edelrid Vortex Ball Bearing Mounted Swivel on hauling and lowering systems where the load rotates, on fixed lines in the Hajar wadis, and in tree and access work across Dubai where a spinning load slows everything down. It also belongs in a rescue kit, where a casualty on a line will turn continuously without one.
