Application

Wire rope fittings are heavily implicated in a number of industrial processes and equipment such as mining equipment, braking, aircraft cables, levelers, hood latch releases, and more.

Fittings known as sleeves and thimbles are often used in complete wire rope assemblies to protect the stranded wire from wear, tear, crimping, bending, pinching, or other damage.

Configuration & Specification

Thimbles

We have found that thimbles are one of the most frequently used types of wire rope accessory. They help to protect the section of rope that forms the eye, meaning the total service life of the rope can be extended greatly. They also help to make this eye stronger and rigid. For thimbles, we also have various sizes available. You can purchase them in sizes 4mm to 50mm in mild steel, or 2mm to 24mm in stainless steel.

Turn Buckles / Rigging Screws

These act in a similar manner to like screws and are used for the tightening or tensioning of wire rope. You’ll commonly find them being used in rigging applications, or where the rope needs to be tightened to a specific tension. Common examples are bridge wires or barriers and fences. You’ll find that these come in various styles and combinations, as well as sizes.

Shackles

A shackle is a type of connector, that can be easily removed whenever you wish. They help to connect different pieces of lifting equipment; such as steel rope with chains or slings. They feature a screw pin in a shackle, allowing for the easy tightening or removing. You can also get some with safety bolts, which are designed for more permanent fixtures.

Eyebolts

Eyebolts help to create a permanent anchorage point to aid with the lifting of objects which otherwise could not be lifted by hand or by the aid of a fork lift. These have a round eye and a threaded shank attached.

Terminals

These are pressed into ends of rope with high pressure to create a permanent and strong connection. Often used in conjunction with other accessories.

Sockets

One of the strongest types of accessories for wire rope, these are a permanent fixture. They help to fasten the rope to a fixed point.

Hooks

These help to form a connection between the wire rope and a load that needs to be lifted.
