National Oilwell Power Swivels are the result of the company's long
history of building rugged efficient drilling machinery products. The
following six basic models offer numerous configurations to meet rig
designs and anticipated drilling conditions.
All current design models have the following basic design features.

PATENTED DUAL LOAD-PATH.
Below: Casing and tripping loads are carried separately from drilling
loads. They do not pass through the swivel stem, swivel bearing, or
API rotary shouldered connections. The Dual Load Path isolates
the main swivel bearing and stem from the high stresses, impact
loading, and fatigue that are associated with tripping and casing
handling activity.
PATENTED PNEUMATIC COUNTERBALANCE SYSTEM
An integral pneumatic system counterbalances the weight of the
Power Swivel. It is accurate to ± 500 lbs. The system allows a
"soft" landing of threaded connections. When breaking out, it
"jumps" pin connections out of the box.
