The G414 wire rope thimble is suitable for use with wire rope or fiber rope and helps protect the wire rope/fiber rope from wear and damage at loops or eye joints. It is usually made of galvanized or stainless steel and is corrosion-resistant.
By inserting a rope or wire rope through the open end of the thimble, the load is evenly distributed, reducing wear and damage. Mostly the thimble is closed by splicing of the rope. Heavy duty rope thimbles are commonly used in marine and aquaculture mooring lines.
