Double eye stainless steel swivel d. 10 – code: 01.018.10 – Osculati

Stainless steel swivel with double eye d. 10 Osculati (code 01.018.10)

The double eye stainless steel swivel Osculati is a hardware component designed for use in nautical and plant engineering fields, where it is useful to connect two elements while maintaining the possibility of rotation between the parts. The configuration with double eye makes it particularly suitable for mooring lines, helping to manage twists and tangles that may occur during use.

This version is made of AISI 316 stainless steel and belongs to the family of swivels selected for applications requiring finishes and materials suitable for marine environments. The product is identified by the supplier code 01.018.10 (Osculati S.r.l.).

Features and construction details

Type: double eye

The swivel features two eyes (one on each side) for connection to ropes, terminals, or accessories compatible with this type of attachment. The internal rotation allows the two ends to move relative to each other, reducing the transmission of torsion along the line.

Material: stainless steel AISI 316

The manufacturing in AISI 316 is a common choice for hardware intended for marine environments, thanks to the typical characteristics of stainless steel in the presence of humidity and salt.

Typical applications

The double eye swivel is indicated when it is useful to maintain a secure connection between two elements, allowing freedom of rotation to manage movements and torsions. In nautical contexts, the most common use is on mooring lines, as indicated for this type.

Examples of use

• Mooring: inline insertion to limit twisting caused by boat rotations and movements.
• Connections between accessories: integration with hardware components where eye attachment is the preferred solution.
• Mooring maintenance and refitting: replacement of worn elements or upgrading the line with AISI 316 stainless steel components.

Operational advantages

• Torsion management: the swivel function helps reduce the transmission of torsion along the line, improving order and connection management.
• Double eye format: simple and direct solution to connect two ends with eye attachment, without resorting to more complex configurations.
• AISI 316 material: suitable choice for marine environments and onboard applications where stainless steel is preferred.
• Versatile hardware component: useful in many rigging and deck equipment configurations, depending on the setup requirements.

Usage and installation notes

For correct use of the swivel, it is advisable to pay attention to the consistency between the swivel size and the size of the connected elements (ropes, terminals, shackles, or other accessories). A proper fit contributes to smooth operation and better line management.

Good practices

• Dimensional check: check that the eye and connected accessories are compatible in geometry and dimensions.
• Line alignment: install the swivel so that it works in line with the expected tension, avoiding forced configurations.
• Periodic inspection: in marine environments, it is good practice to regularly check the condition of the hardware (wear, deformations, sliding of the swivel part).
• Load selection: use the load data as a reference for selection and sizing of the assembly, evaluating the entire line and not just the single component.

If you are configuring or replacing a mooring line, this stainless steel double eye swivel d. 10 represents a neat and coherent technical solution for nautical use, clearly identified by Osculati code 01.018.10.
