This is a galvanized ductile iron swing hanger with a shackle pendulum.  These hangers are cast in two halves.  The lower half of the swing hanger body has a shackle pendulum with a sintered bronze bearing incorporated into it to reduce wear.  These bearings do not need to be oiled as the bronze is impregnated with oil.  The pendulum is 1” wide and has a shackle with bolt so that there is no need for a connecting S-hook.  The shackle pendulum is tamper resistant.  It requires an allen wrench with a special pin hole head.  The two halves of the hangers are bolted together with a 12mm carriage bolt and a hex lock tight nut.  The pendulum is held to the hanger with a #12 axle bolt with a long shoulder, so the bearing does not ride on the threads.  It also has a lock tight nut.  This hanger fits a standard schedule 40 two inch pipe.

Maintenance: Do the following to reduce the chance of serious injuries.  Check monthly for cracks, rust, missing rivets, open S-hooks or evidence of vandalism such as cutting, metal showing through the material or bent seats from children standing on them.  Tighten and lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions.  Check all protective coverings on nuts, bolts, pipes, edges, corners and all moving parts including swing hangers, swing seats, ropes, cables, chains, shackles, pendulums for excessive wear and tighten bolts.  Replace as needed.  Make sure there are no exposed footings, anchoring devices, rocks, roots, holes or any other obstacles in or around playground equipment.  In high use areas these inspections should be done more frequently.   Clean with mild soap and water when you do the monthly maintenance checks.
