The Flex Guard In-Line Flange Swivel is a heavy-duty hydraulic swivel designed to eliminate hose failure caused by excessive twisting and flex fatigue. It provides smooth rotation, extends hose life, and reduces downtime in high-pressure applications.
This flange swivel is ideal for construction, agriculture, mining, oil & gas, industrial manufacturing, defense, forestry, and service vehicles—anywhere hydraulic hoses experience repetitive motion or high-stress.
By allowing hoses to twist and flex naturally, the swivel reduces mechanical stress, minimizes abrasion, and prevents kinking, which enhances overall system efficiency and longevity.
It is engineered to withstand 5,500+ psi working pressures and 16,000+ psi pressure spikes, making it ideal for high-pressure hydraulic systems.
- Energized cap seals for long-term durability.
- High-temp urethane-loaded lip U-cup to prevent leaks, even at low temperatures and pressures.
- Backup ring to reinforce the seal and extend service life
A dual-row ball bearing system ensures smooth, unrestricted rotation while maintaining structural integrity for the life of the machine.
