Swivel Hook (360-degree rotary hook)
A hook with a 360-degree swivel eye, used to hang a bag from a chair, rail or strap and let it rotate so it does not twist the webbing. The body is a stamped, wire-formed or cast metal part with a bought-in spring; Qinxi has no stamping, cold-heading or spring line, so the whole fitting is sourced from the supply chain.
Overview
- Made by
- Supply chain / partners
- Materials
- Brass, Iron / low-carbon steel, Stainless steel, Zinc alloy (cast version, sourced)
- Finish options
- Nickel, Nickel-free, Antique brass, Gunmetal, Black nickel, Matte brushed
- Customization
- Hook throat size for the rail or strap, Swivel or fixed eye, Plating matched to the hardware set, Load rating for the intended use
Applications
- BackpacksHang loop on the shoulder strap or top webbing
- Crossbody bagsClip to a belt loop or rail while in use
- HandbagsDecorative and functional hang clip
Selection tips
- Match the hook throat to the rail or strap it hangs from; an undersized throat will not fit, an oversized one slips off.
- Specify the load rating: a bag hook that opens under its own weight is a reliability failure, not just a cosmetic one.
- Ferrous versions trigger garment needle detectors; for 100% needle-detected markets use brass or non-magnetic stainless.
- EU skin-contact items need nickel-free plating to meet REACH nickel-release limits.
Manufacturing process & quality control points
- 1
Stamping / wire forming / casting of the hook
Supply chain / partnersThe hook body is blanked, bent or cast and the gate is machined. Qinxi has no stamping, cold-heading or casting line, so this is done by the supply chain to the agreed dimensions and plating.
Quality control points
- Hook throat and gate finish · Caliper and 10x loupe · Per lot, AQL 2.5 (ISO 2859-1 general level II)
- 2
Spring fit and plating
Supply chain / partnersA bought-in spring is fitted and the part is plated. Plating is outsourced to the supply chain; coating thickness and corrosion are verified against the agreed specification.
Quality control points
- Spring action and hook closure · Manual open/close cycle x20 · Per lot, AQL 2.5 (ISO 2859-1 general level II)
- Coating thickness · XRF coating thickness gauge (ISO 3497 / ASTM B568) · One set per plating colour per batch
- 3
Swivel and pull test
Supply chain / partnersThe swivel eye is rotated and the hook is pulled to an agreed load to confirm the eye does not bind and the hook does not open under load. Supplied and tested by the supply chain, with Qinxi spot-checking.
Quality control points
- Swivel rotation and pull-to-load · Rotate by hand + universal tensile machine, 50 mm/min · One sample set per batch
