Wire Rope Thimbles G316 Stainless Steel ALL SIZES

Description

Wire Rope Thimbles are the reinforcement that provides structure to the end loop of a stainless steel wire (or rope) run so that when it is secured, the force of the bearing point is evenly distributed along the length of the thimble and minimizes wear and stretch on the wire cable. A Thimble works with hydraulically and mechanically pressed ferrules. Commonly used with both wire rope grip (non-swaged adjustable) connections as well as with Hourglass or Oval Sleeve constructions where a ‘hard eye’ must be formed. Our Wire Rope thimbles are AISI 316 grade stainless steel.

What is this?

• Open style G316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope thimble suiting various diameters of wire rope

What are the dimensions?

• Varies by optional choice with detailed dimensions presented in a graphical dimensional table

Who is it for?

• Commonly used with both wire rope grip (non-swaged adjustable) connections as well as with Hourglass or Oval Sleeve constructions where a ‘hard eye’ must be formed and maximum strength and repeatable sizing is required but a particular load rating is NOT required.

What is included?

• Open G316 Stainless Steel Thimbles of various sizes suiting various wire rope diameters.
• Available sizes include 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm, 10mm, 12.0mm, 14.0mm and 16.0mm

What are the features?

• Thimbles are designed to work with High and Medium Flexibility Steel Wire Rope
• Grooved fasteners allow bearing point load to be spread across the hard eye
• Thimbles can be re-used at will
• Corrosion Resistance is ultimate

What works with this product?

• Stainless Steel wire rope (coated or uncoated) and Galvanised Steel Wire Rope (uncoated or coated) secured with this product.
• Secure deployment can be achieved with the Wire Rope Grips or Mechanical Splicing Sleeves at the time of installation

What to avoid with this product?

• Use with galvanised steel wire rope may cause corrosion and or “Tea Staining” of the thimble in aggressive environments.
• Over tensioning must be avoided when tightening to prevent stripping the nuts or shearing the thread.
• Highly Acidic or Alkaline environments can lead to degradation of the electroplated zinc galvanised finish

How to plan regular cleaning & Maintenance for increased product durability... Read More

To ensure the longevity of your product, a planned regular cleaning and maintenance approach is highly recommended. Whether the product is wire, fittings, or even tools -the frequency of cleaning, maintenance and inspection will vary depending on many factors such as environment, usage levels, required performance, and any inherent risk or safety factors. All of these things are worthy of consideration when planning predictive and/or preventative maintenance...

Given the vast proportion of Australia's population resides near a shoreline - the effect of a marine environment is often the most significant factor in product longevity

The table below proposes a cleaning schedule based only on "environment". It is intended as a guide and should be varied as required. We recommend using non-aggressive cleaning agents and fresh water for routine maintenance.

Environment	Agression Level	Distance from Coast	Cleaning Schedule
Indoors environment	Very Low	N/A	Every 18 - 48 Months
Clean inland environment	Low	20km +	Every 10 - 12 Months
Moderate urban or coastal environment	Medium	1-5km	Every 4 - 6 Months
Harsh urban or coastal environment	High	< 500m	Every 2 - 3 Months
Severe coastal/ marine environment	Extreme	< 500m	Every 1 - 2 Weeks
