Gloma Nautica Anchor Swivels

Gloma Nautica’s Anchor Swivels are premium marine hardware components designed to eliminate anchor chain twist, promote smooth anchor handling, and preserve directional stability. Crafted from AISI 316 stainless steel, each swivel delivers lasting durability, corrosion resistance, and operational reliability in demanding saltwater environments. Built in Spain and engineered with exacting European standards, these swivels are essential fittings for both recreational and commercial vessels operating under heavy loads and high-performance expectations (glomanautica.com).

Unlike cast parts that may conceal weak internal structures, Gloma Nautica's anchor swivels are precision-forged. This forging process enhances molecular alignment, giving the part higher tensile strength and a visible deformation response under excessive stress—adding a safety feature that warns before failure.

Anchor swivels connect the anchor to the chain or rope, providing free 360° rotation. This prevents the anchor rode from twisting while the vessel swings with wind or tide, reducing stress on windlasses, gypsies, and bow rollers. The result is smoother anchor retrieval, better stowage alignment, and less risk of chain snags or tangles.

Each swivel is manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel, selected for its resistance to rust, pitting, and crevice corrosion caused by saltwater exposure. The alloy’s molybdenum content makes it ideal for permanent deck fittings and below-the-waterline use, where resilience against harsh marine conditions is paramount.

Designed with load-bearing precision, Gloma Nautica anchor swivels are available in multiple sizes to accommodate a wide range of anchor types and chain gauges. They support high Working Load Limits (WLL), ensuring safe usage during anchoring and retrieval even in rough seas. All swivel models are tested to rigorous tolerances and quality-verified with batch traceability (toplicht.com).

A high-polish finish improves both function and aesthetics. It helps repel dirt and biofouling, reduces wear on contact surfaces, and makes it easier to inspect for stress or corrosion. The smooth operation of the swivel’s rotating joint is secured with robust pins and toleranced bushings that resist jamming and corrosion-induced locking.

These swivels are ideal for powerboats, yachts, commercial workboats, and offshore platforms. Whether anchoring in deep coastal waters or shallow tidal zones, Gloma Nautica anchor swivels provide unmatched control and chain protection.
