DIN3091 Cast Solid Malleable Thimble for Wire Rope
There are two main kinds of DIN3091 solid thimbles. The ordinary thimble which is fairly standard. It is appropriate for lighter applications. Then there is the solid thimble, which is more robust and suitable for heavy weight applications. Both types are readily available in a wide range of sizes to suit different diameters of wire rope.
When the wire rope is terminated with a loop, there is a risk that it will bend too tightly, especially when the loop is connected to a device that spreads the load over a relatively small area. A thimble can be installed inside the loop to preserve the natural shape of the loop, and protect the cable from pinching and abrading on the inside of the loop. The thimble prevents the load from coming into direct contact with the wires.
