Live Swivel Fittings Feature

Pressure-Balanced Design for Uninterrupted Movement

The pressure-balanced design of the 90° swivel fitting minimizes the impact of internal fluid pressure on the swivel movement. This ensures that the fitting operates smoothly and maintains its flexibility even under high-pressure conditions. The internal pressure does not restrict rotation, allowing for continuous and efficient fluid or gas flow without the risk of blockage or failure.

Compact Forged Body for Tight Spaces

Engineered with a compact forged body, the 90° swivel fitting is ideal for applications where space is limited. The forged design makes it sturdy and reliable, while its small size allows it to fit into confined areas without compromising on performance. This feature makes it particularly valuable for machinery and systems with space constraints.

Case-Hardened for Long-Lasting Durability

The 90° swivel fitting is case-hardened to ensure a longer service life. This treatment enhances the material’s resistance to wear, corrosion, and fatigue, even under the most demanding working conditions. Whether exposed to extreme temperatures or heavy vibrations, the case-hardened surface ensures that the fitting remains durable and performs reliably over time.

Prevents Hose Twist and Torque Build-Up

One of the standout features of the 90° swivel fitting is its ability to eliminate hose twist and torque that can occur due to the movement of working equipment. The swivel mechanism absorbs any rotational forces and ensures the hose remains untangled and properly aligned. This feature prevents damage to the hose and ensures the system operates smoothly without unnecessary strain or wear on components.

Technical Characteristics

High-pressure Resistance

90° Live Swivels, rated for up to 3000 psi, are engineered to prevent hose twist and torque, reducing the risk of premature hose failure. Featuring a pressure-balanced design within a compact, forged body, these swivels ensure that the torque remains stable even as pressure increases. With a variety of port options available for both housing and shaft ends, these swivels are versatile and adaptable to your specific needs. Additionally, the maximum rotation speed is limited to 10 rpm, ensuring reliable, low-friction movement in high-pressure applications.

Size Range

The 90° swivel fitting is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 1/4” to 1”, which ensures that it can meet the demands of different hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Whether you’re working with small-scale systems where space is limited or larger, high-flow systems requiring robust fittings, these size options make the swivel fitting highly versatile.

Seal Options

The 90° swivel fitting offers multiple seal material options, allowing you to choose the best solution based on the specific fluids and operating conditions. These include:

Nitrile (Buna-N): Ideal for general-purpose applications, particularly with petroleum-based oils and water.

Ethylene Propylene (EPDM): Well-suited for water-based fluids and chemical applications, offering excellent resistance to water and steam.

Fluorocarbon (Viton): Provides superior resistance to high temperatures, oils, fuels, and aggressive chemicals, making it ideal for demanding chemical and high-heat environments.

Optional Nickel Plating

To enhance the fitting’s resistance to corrosion, optional nickel plating is available. This additional layer of protection ensures the fitting can withstand harsh environments, including exposure to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. The nickel plating not only provides corrosion resistance but also gives the fitting a polished, sleek appearance. This makes it especially suitable for applications exposed to aggressive conditions or those that require a more refined aesthetic.

Port End Options

The 90° swivel fitting is equipped with a range of shaft port end options, which allow for flexibility in connecting to various types of systems. These options include:

Male NPTF (National Pipe Tapered Fuel): Ideal for fuel systems and general-purpose applications, providing a leak-tight, secure fit.

Female NPTF: Allows for seamless integration with male NPTF connections, making installation easier and more reliable.

Male JIC 37°: Commonly used in hydraulic systems, this connection type offers a leak-tight seal under high-pressure conditions, essential for performance in demanding environments.

Male SAE O-Ring Straight Thread: Designed specifically for SAE systems, this type features an O-ring that guarantees a reliable seal, preventing leaks even under intense pressure.

How to Customize a Hydraulic Live Swivel Fitting

Customizing a hydraulic live swivel fitting involves selecting various options to ensure it meets the specific requirements of your system. Here are the key factors to consider:

Size Selection:

Choose the appropriate size based on your system’s flow rate and space constraints. Common sizes range from 1/4″ to 1″, but custom sizes can often be produced depending on the application.

Material Choice:

Select the material based on the operating conditions. Options typically include carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloys. For environments requiring corrosion resistance, consider optional nickel plating.

Seal Materials:

The choice of seal material is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and durability in your hydraulic live swivel fitting, especially based on the type of fluid or chemical in your system.

Pressure Rating:

Ensure the swivel fitting is designed to handle your system’s maximum pressure. Standard live swivels can typically handle pressures up to 3000 psi, but higher ratings can be customized.

Thread Types

The hydraulic live swivel fitting offers a wide range of port end configurations to ensure compatibility with various connection standards and system requirements. By choosing the appropriate port configuration, you can ensure that the fitting integrates smoothly into your system, enhancing both its performance and longevity.

Rotation Speed:

Specify the maximum rotation speed (commonly up to 10 rpm) to match the operational speed of your equipment and avoid excessive wear.

Additional Customization Options:

Depending on your needs, you may request additional features such as nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance or specific threading styles to accommodate unique connection types.

Product Pitfalls to Avoid

At Topa, we understand these challenges and are committed to providing high-quality solutions that resolve these issues, ensuring your systems operate efficiently and reliably. Choose Topa to avoid these common pitfalls and experience superior performance in your hydraulic systems.

Pressure Standards Not Met

One common issue is choosing fittings that cannot withstand the required pressure. Fittings that are not pressure-rated correctly can fail prematurely, leading to system malfunctions or downtime. At Topa, our hydraulic live swivels are tested to ensure they meet industry-standard pressure ratings up to 3000 psi, providing reliable performance even in high-pressure environments.

Inability to Rotate Smoothly

Some fittings may experience stiffness or failure to rotate, which can result in hose twists or torque buildup, ultimately damaging hoses and causing premature failure. Our pressure-balanced design ensures smooth rotation, preventing torque and hose twist, even as pressure fluctuates, thus enhancing the longevity of your system.

Plating Thickness Not Up to Standard

Poor plating quality can lead to corrosion, rust, and early wear, especially in aggressive environments. Our fittings come with optional high-quality nickel plating, ensuring a thicker, more durable protective layer that prevents corrosion and extends the fitting's life, even in harsh conditions.

Long Lead Times

Extended production cycles can delay project timelines and affect your overall productivity. Topa offers efficient manufacturing processes with shorter lead times, ensuring that you get your fittings delivered on time, without compromising on quality or performance.
