Gimbal and Turret Swivels


Secc’s Swivel and Gimbal systems are engineered to provide operators with enhanced flexibility and range of movement around fixed connections, eliminating the need for non-metallic flexible joints. This advanced design allows for greater maneuverability, enabling operators to manipulate hoses more efficiently without causing fatigue or damage to the equipment, all within established operational limits. The systems are carefully calibrated to deliver pre-determined degrees of freedom, tailored to the specific requirements of hoses, associated loads, reference points, and operational conditions.

When integrated with Secc’s Emergency Quick Disconnect (EQD) Coupling technology, featuring the Hot Make Hot Break (HMHB) capability, these systems form the ultimate EQD solution. This integration ensures seamless disconnection in emergency scenarios, safeguarding equipment and personnel while minimizing operational interruptions.

The combined benefits of the Swivel and Gimbal systems, paired with EQD technology, offer significant advantages: preventing damage to critical components, expanding operational scope, and reducing environmental risks through enhanced control and reliability.

Proximity Switches and Directional Control Valves (DCV) can be integrated into the Gimbal and Turret system to monitor the status of the Couplings and initiate override systems.

With over 20 years of proven performance, Secc’s Turret and Gimbal Swivel systems have set a benchmark for durability and efficiency in demanding operational environments. Their robust design and field-proven reliability continue to support a wide range of applications, ensuring safe and efficient operations across the globe.
