BS 464/EN 13411-1 Wire Rope Thimble
BS 464 wire rope thimbles are essential components used in various rigging and lifting applications to protect the eyes of wire ropes and enhance their durability. These thimbles are typically made from mild steel and are often hot-dipped or electro-galvanized to provide corrosion resistance.
- Standards Compliance: BS 464 thimbles meet the performance requirements of the withdrawn standard BS 464 and the current BS EN 13411-1 standard, ensuring they are suitable for load-bearing applications
- Material: Made from mild steel with a galvanized finish, these thimbles are designed to withstand harsh conditions while protecting the wire rope from abrasion and wear
- Dimensions: Available in various sizes, typically ranging from 8mm to 64mm in diameter. The dimensions include internal measurements that may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
BS 464 thimbles are used in:
- Rigging: To create loops in wire ropes that can withstand heavy loads without damaging the rope.
- Lifting Equipment: They provide a smooth surface for the wire rope, reducing wear and tear during operation.
- Marine Applications: Often utilized in marine environments due to their corrosion-resistant properties.
Wire rope thimbles, steel rope thimbles, cable thimbles or simply wire thimbles, are used to support wire rope eyes by creating a durable wear surface when connected to mating rigging hardware.Thimbles are used to protect the eyes of cable, and rope slings from abrasion by providing a solid steel barrier between the fragile cable strands and the other rigging fitting used in the connection.
Standard: generally to EN 13411-1 formerly BS 464
