8 - SPECIFIC INFORMATION
The Personal Protective Equipment Category III 993.000
"SWING" is:
- a sheave mounted in plates used to link a rope or an
accessory cord to a connector reducing the friction while
the rope or accessory cord is moving under load;
- part of a system protecting/preventing against impact
caused by fall from a height;
- certified according to EN12278:2007 and conform
toUIAA127:2018.
Fig. 1 – Rope attachment – To attach the device to a
rope insert a suitable connector in the eyelets (A) and then
make the rope pass behind the plate (B) and above the
sheave.
Fig. 2 – Walking on the line – This device can be attached
directly without making passing through of the rope end.
Fig. 3 – Mobile pulley – This device can be used for lifting
loads with mechanical advantage.
Fig. 4 – Examples of wrong and dangerous use.
Fig. 5 – Force composition - By reducing the deflection
in a rope (therefore widening the angle), the forces acting
on the anchoring points exponentially increase.
Compatibility – This device has been designed to be
used with:
- connectors according to EN362 and/or EN12275;
- rope lanyards according to EN354
- slings according to EN566;
- accessory cords according to EN564;
- ropes according to EN892 or EN1891.
When assembling the system check that the rope does
not touch the metal plates nor can be placed between the
sheave and the plates.
