Wire rope thimbles are used in wire rope assemblies to keep an eye from being crushed. When a wire rope assembly is terminated with an eye or loop at the end, a cable thimble is inserted to form the eye of the loop before the rope is secured.
Adding this protection not only provides a measure of safety, it also lengthens the working life of the wire rope.
Available in Standard Duty and Heavy Duty.
Heavy Duty made according to Federal Specification FF-276b, Type 111.
