A Forged Clamp Swivel is a heavy-duty scaffolding and structural fastening component used to connect two tubes or pipes at any required angle. It is manufactured using a forging process, which gives it superior strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity compared to pressed or fabricated clamps. These clamps are widely used in construction, infrastructure, industrial maintenance, and scaffolding systems.
The primary function of a forged swivel clamp is to securely join two scaffold tubes while allowing rotational movement. This swivel action makes it possible to create connections at variable angles rather than fixed 90-degree joints. Once tightened, the clamp locks firmly in position, ensuring stability and safety under load.
A forged swivel clamp typically consists of:
Two forged half-couplers designed to grip scaffold pipes securely
A central swivel bolt or rivet that allows rotation
High-tensile bolts and nuts for strong locking and load resistance
