Wire rope thimble size selection
A wire rope thimble provides a shaped seat within a rope eye. When choosing a replacement, check the bend radius, seat width and the way the eye connects to the adjoining fitting. This page has two listed size options, with the measurements shown below.
Listed wire rope thimble options
| Ordering SKU | Bend radius | Seat width |
|---|---|---|
| PLPGTO22 | 15 mm | 13 mm |
| DULGTO2025 | 20 mm | 18 mm |
These measurements describe the thimble seat. They do not state the wire rope diameter or the load rating of the finished assembly. Therefore, check the required rope and end fitting together before choosing a size.
Confirm the required form and fit
