Differences between DIN 6899 A and B thimbles
The DIN 6899 A and DIN 6899 B wire rope thimbles serve similar purposes in protecting wire ropes but have distinct differences in design and application. Here are the main differences:

Main Differences Between DIN 6899 A and B Thimbles

Feature DIN 6899 A Thimble DIN 6899 B Thimble
Design Shape Generally has a more rounded shape with a wider opening. Features a heart-shaped design with a narrower opening.
Load Capacity Typically designed for lighter loads. Built for heavier loads, offering greater strength and durability.
Material Thickness Usually has a thinner wall compared to type B. Generally thicker, providing enhanced resistance to deformation under load.
Common Applications Suitable for light-duty applications and general rigging. Used in heavy-duty applications, such as lifting and towing in industrial settings.
Standard Compliance Complies with the DIN 6899 A standard specifications. Complies with the DIN 6899 B standard specifications, which may have different dimensional requirements.

In summary, while both thimbles are used to protect wire rope eyes and improve the longevity of slings, the DIN 6899 A is more suited for lighter applications, whereas the DIN 6899 B is designed for heavier loads and more demanding environments. This distinction makes it crucial to select the appropriate type based on the specific requirements of your rigging or lifting application.
