Item # W-THIMBLE EYE FITTING
Thimble Eye Fitting
- UM: M
A thimble eye fitting is a heavy-duty hardware component designed to form a strong, reinforced loop at the end of a cable or wire rope. By integrating a smooth, rounded thimble surface into the eye, this fitting helps prevent abrasion and wear at the connection point, making it ideal for lifting, rigging, and utility pole applications where durability and safety are critical.
The built-in thimble support distributes load evenly across the cable loop and reduces stress concentrations that can shorten service life. In many installations, the integrated design eliminates the need for a separate loose thimble while still providing reliable rope protection.
Thimble eye fittings are widely used in utility infrastructure and industrial rigging systems. Utility crews rely on them to secure guy wires and messenger cables to poles, while rigging professionals use eye-and-thimble connections to protect wire ropes at high-load attachment points.
- Creates a reinforced eye loop at the end of cable or wire rope
- Integrated thimble surface reduces abrasion and wear
- Distributes load to extend cable service life
- Suitable for lifting, rigging, and pole-line applications
- Heavy-duty construction for demanding environments
Several variants are available to match different installation requirements and connection angles:
- Straight Thimble Eye Bolts: Designed for in-line connections in guying and rigging systems.
- 45-Degree Bent Thimble Eyes: Used where angled cable departures are required.
- Thimble Eye Nuts: Compatible with galvanized anchor rods in utility installations.
- Eye-and-Thimble Sling Ends: Feature a bare eye on one end and a thimble-reinforced eye on the other for enhanced durability.
Common applications include securing guy wires on utility poles, protecting wire rope in lifting assemblies, and forming durable cable connections in construction and industrial environments. The reinforced eye design helps maintain connection integrity while minimizing maintenance and replacement costs.
