The self-braking ball bearing swivel is utilized with aircraft arresting gear with a cross runway arrest cable. The swivel structure includes a short swaged integral end fitting, whereby the swivel possesses lower total mass and length than in standard swivels having long swaged eye terminals, such lower mass and length resulting in lower swivel terminal loading resulting from kink waves in aircraft runway cross cables. The swivel is free to be accelerated in rotation upon arrival of a kink wave at each of the runway cross cable swivels to aligh with each respective kink wave angle prior to the self-braking action of the swivel.
