Installation Advice
Thimbles - Wire Rope Loops
Thimbles reinforce loop eyes in wire rope, this will provide a longer lasting wear surface and help to support the wire rope eye.
Perfect for 7x19 Wire Rope.Not suitable for use with 1x19 wire Rope.
Simply loop the cable around the outer groove and secure with a ferrule or wire rope grip.
Creating a loop using a wire rope thimble with a ferrule.
Step 1
Simply lace the dead end of your wire rope through your ferrule and loop the end of your wire rope around the outer groove of the thimble.
Step 2
Pass the end back through the ferrule and pull-in the dead end to fit tight around the thimble.
Step 3
Once in place, we recommend using a crimping/swaging tool to compress the ferrule firmly onto the rope to hold your thimble loop securely.
Once fitted we recommend you load test your wire rope assembly with a load that is equal or greater than the expected load to ensure that your loop/eye performs safely.
Using wire rope grips
Alternatively you can use Wire Rope Grips to secure your thimble in place.
This method is quick and easy to install.
