The present invention relates to a swivel for reducing torsion in a cable, having two swivel parts which are rotatable with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction of the cable, wherein a rotary drive for the forced turning of the two parts with respect to one another is provided. According to the invention, provision is made on the swivel of at least one direction-of-rotation sensor for sensing the direction of torsion of the cable with respect to the swivel, wherein the rotary drive is actuable by a control device, depending on the determined direction of torsion, such that the swivel part connected to the cable is turned in the direction of the sensed direction of torsion.
