Deep groove design securely holds the wire rope in place
Available in Electro Galvanized or Hot Dip Galvanized finishes for corrosion protection
Suitable for heavy-duty lifting, towing, and industrial rigging tasks

Technical Data
Differences between DIN 6899 A and B thimbles

The DIN 6899 Type B Thimble is a heavy-duty wire rope eye reinforcement. Featuring a deeper groove and thicker walls than Type A, it offers superior resistance to deformation, making it ideal for rigorous industrial lifting and towing applications.

🇩🇪 DIN 6899 Form B

Manufactured to DIN 6899 B specifications. Designed for consistency and compatibility with standard metric wire ropes.

💪 Heavy Duty Build

Made from Mild Steel with thicker walls and a deeper groove than Type A thimbles. Prevents wire rope from slipping out or crushing under heavy load.

🛡️ Corrosion Protection

Standard finish is Electro-Galvanized (Zinc Plated). Optional Hot Dip Galvanized coating available for extreme outdoor and marine environments.

📏 Wide Size Range

Available for wire rope diameters from 2.5mm up to 45mm. Ideal for heavy rigging, towing, and industrial lifting.

Q: What is the difference between DIN 6899 Type A and Type B thimbles? A: DIN 6899 Type B thimbles are designed for heavier loads. They feature a heart-shaped design with a narrower opening, deeper groove, and thicker walls compared to Type A, which is lighter and more rounded.

Q: What finish is standard for these thimbles? A: The standard finish is Electro-Galvanized, providing good corrosion resistance. Hot Dip Galvanized is available for harsher conditions.

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.
