Wire Rope Thimbles - Silver

A wire rope thimble is used to create a protective loop (eye) at the end of a wire rope. It prevents the rope from being worn or deformed when connected to other fittings or subjected to load.

These specific thimbles are designed for 1/4 inch (approximately 6mm) diameter wire rope.

Yes, these are described as heavy-duty and suitable for lifting applications, meeting specific US FED Spec requirements.

You insert the wire rope end into the thimble's groove to form a loop, then secure the rope using wire rope clips, swaging, or other appropriate methods.

They are made of galvanised steel, which provides strength and resistance to corrosion.

Each pack contains 20 wire rope thimbles.

These thimbles are specifically sized for 1/4" (6mm) wire rope. Ensure your rope diameter matches for proper function.

Ensure you are using a 1/4" (6mm) wire rope. If the rope is too thin, the thimble may not seat properly. If the rope is too thick, it will not fit into the groove.

Use the correct number and type of wire rope clips or a properly sized swaging sleeve. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the securing method to ensure a tight and safe connection.

The galvanised coating provides protection. For minor surface rust, it can sometimes be cleaned. For significant corrosion that compromises strength, replace the thimble.
