Fiber Rope thimbles are usually made of galvanized steel or stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance, ensures durability and longevity. It has a compact cylindrical shape with a smooth inner surface. These smooth surfaces minimize wear and damage to ropes or cables running through them.
The main purpose of using rope thimbles is to protect ropes or cables from wear, tear and damage caused by sharp edges or rough surfaces. By inserting a rope or wire rope through the open end of the thimble, the load is evenly distributed, reducing wear and damage.
Strong K3 type mooring rope thimble are commonly used in marine and aquaculture mooring lines.
