RS PRO Stainless Steel Thimble For Use With 5mm Diameter Wire Rope

When you need to protect your steel wire cables from damage, use this stainless steel thimble from RS PRO to add a solid barrier and prevent kinks. It's made of electroplated steel, so it's resistant to corrosion. This makes it a good choice for use in outdoor or damp environments.
The thimble prevents strain on the eye of a hanging point by ensuring that the wire cable used to support the load forms a natural curve. This prevents your cables from being worn by kinking, giving them a longer lifespan. It's easy to install the thimble inside the loop, and it maintains its shape to prevent direct contact between the load and the cable. You can use this product for steel wire cables measuring up to 5 mm in diameter. This means the thimble is suitable for a number of applications involving standard cable sizes in places such as construction sites.

This is not for lifting applications.
