Product Overview
The Enigma is a completely openable swivel designed for direct connections to both metal and textile devices, eliminating the need for additional connectors. Its rotating swivel, combined with large pivoting shackles, offers an exceptional range of orientations and movements. The unique design allows the swivel and shackles to be opened with a single screw (key provided). A safety locking system, independent and opposite to the working direction, ensures easy and safe assembly. Constructed with a stainless steel core featuring ball bearings and an aluminum alloy main body and rings, the Enigma provides very high breaking strength (23 kN) and a high working load limit (5 kN). The shackles feature a large opening (18 mm) and ample inner working space, facilitating connections for multiple devices to the same ring.
Key Features and Components

Disassembly and Assembly
The Enigma swivel can be disassembled and reassembled for maintenance or inspection. Follow these steps carefully:
Disassembly
Step 1: Unscrew the main locking screw.
Step 2: Remove the shackles from the main body.
Step 3: Separate the components of the main body.
(Diagrams show numbered steps with icons representing parts and actions like unscrewing and pulling apart.)
Assembly
Step 1: Align the main body components.
Step 2: Reinsert the shackles, ensuring correct orientation (e.g., 90° alignment as shown in diagrams).
Step 3: Secure the components by tightening the main locking screw.
(Diagrams show numbered steps for reassembly, including specific angular alignments and securing the screw.)
Strength and Load Ratings
The Enigma swivel is rated for specific working loads and breaking strengths:
Configuration A (Main Swivel Body)
This configuration is rated for a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 5 kN and a Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) of 23 kN. The maximum angle of use is indicated as less than or equal to 150 degrees. Warning symbols indicate load limits.
Configuration B (Potentially a single shackle or different load scenario)
This configuration is rated for a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 2.5 kN and a Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) of 19 kN. Warning symbols indicate load limits.
