Wire Rope Thimble – Type B

Type B wire rope thimble is a heavy-duty reinforcement fitting designed to protect wire rope loops from crushing, abrasion, and kinking under high-load conditions. Primarily manufactured to the DIN 6899 Form B standard, it features thicker walls and a deeper groove than the light-duty Type A, making it suitable for rigorous industrial and lifting applications.
