TERMINAL > LOADING > LOADING ARM SWIVELS
Liquip's exclusive swivel design results in a loading arm that is both user friendly and highly efficient.
Made from only high quality castings and raw material, Liquip swivel bodies are precision machined to exacting designs, ensuring consistent quality and smoothness of operation.
Several design features are included to ensure that our customers continue to be completely satisfied with the loading arms throughout their lifespan.
TWO OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DESIGN FEATURES ARE:
BEARINGS
Liquip swivels use a combination of ball and needle roller bearings for minimum friction and extended life.
Using one row of needle roller bearing (for radial load) and one row of ball bearings (for axial load) eliminates the possibility of binding, as can occur with double rows of ball bearings.
The end result is a loading arm which is easier to operate (OH&S) and more efficient.
LUBRICATION
Liquip swivels have a grease relief system which enables the expulsion of old grease, as new grease is added.
This prevents over-pressurisation of the swivels with grease which will result in the swivel becoming difficult to rotate, product contamination with grease being forced past the main product seal and in extreme cases splitting of the swivel body when pneumatic grease guns are used.
Liquip's grease relief system prevents these problems by expelling old and contaminated grease as fresh grease is injected during regular maintenance, this results in extended swivel life and reduced maintenance expenditure.
