Introduction
The MTS Series 249 Swivels allow linear actuators to pivot freely at the base and
rod ends.. Two types of swivels are available, base and rod, which allow the use
of swivels at each end of an actuator. Each type of swivel is available in
Adjustable and Non-Adjustable variants. Adjustable swivels have components
that minimize bearing backlash in through zero loading conditions in tension-
compression testing. The following figure shows the four types of swivels.
