The US Type Standard Light Duty Wire Rope Thimble, specifically the G-411 model, is designed to protect the eyes of wire rope slings, enhancing their durability and extending their service life. Here are the key features and specifications:
Key Features
- Material: Made from high tensile carbon steel, ensuring strength and durability.
- Surface Finish: Typically electro-galvanized (zinc plated) to resist corrosion, making it suitable for various environments, including indoor and low-corrosive settings
- Size Range: Available in sizes from 1/8″ to 1-1/4″, accommodating different wire rope diameters
- Wire rope thimbles like the G-411 are inserted into the eye of a wire rope sling to prevent kinking and deformation. They provide a solid barrier against abrasion from other rigging hardware, thus maintaining the integrity of the rope under load conditions
- In practice, ensure that the thimble is securely fastened within the loop of the wire rope to maximize its protective benefits. This is particularly important in applications where the rope may experience significant wear or stress over time
- Wire rope thimbles, cable thimbles or 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.
- Finish: Electro galvanized or hot dip galvanized.
- Standard: Federal Specification FF-T-276b Type III.
- Sizes up to 2-1/2'' are available.
