Jaw And Jaw Swivel

Jaw and Jaw Swivel are types of fittings used in the Rope, Cable, and Chain industry. They are part of the supply class Fittings for Rope, Cable, and Chain, which falls under the supply group Rope, Cable, Chain, and Fittings.

Jaw: A jaw is a type of fitting that is designed to connect two pieces of rope, cable, or chain together. It typically consists of a curved metal piece with a hole at one end and a threaded section at the other end. The rope, cable, or chain is threaded through the hole, and the threaded section is tightened to secure the connection.

Jaw Swivel: A jaw swivel is a variation of the jaw fitting that includes a swivel mechanism. This allows for greater flexibility and rotation of the connected ropes, cables, or chains. The swivel mechanism helps to reduce stress and prevent tangling or twisting of the ropes, cables, or chains.

Both the jaw and jaw swivel fittings are commonly used in various applications, such as rigging, lifting, towing, and securing loads. They provide a secure and reliable connection between ropes, cables, or chains, while also allowing for some degree of movement and flexibility.
