Thimble Rope Clip Clamp Fixing Loose Ends of Wire Jute and Poly Ropes - 10 x 6 mm

A thimble is an annular reinforcement that is placed inside a rope's eye to protect it from abrasion and crushing when connected to hardware like shackles or bolts. It helps maintain the rope's original strength.

This thimble rope clip clamp is suitable for wire ropes, jute ropes, and poly ropes. It is designed to fix loose ends of these rope types.

Ensure the U-bolt of the clamp straddles the loose end of the rope, and the saddle bears on the standing part of the rope. Tighten the nuts evenly and securely. For critical loads, consider using two clamps and following recommended installation torque.

This specific model, the '10 x 6 mm', is designed for ropes with a diameter of up to 10 mm.

Rope clip clamps can be reused, but it is essential to inspect them for any damage or wear before each use. Re-tighten nuts after the initial load application.

A thimble prevents the rope from being directly compressed by the hardware (like a shackle pin), reducing wear and preventing the rope fibers from being crushed. This preserves the rope's strength and increases the lifespan of the rope termination.

Ensure the clamp is the correct size for the rope. Re-tighten the nuts evenly. Check that the rope is not worn or damaged. Use at least two clamps for critical applications.

Verify the thimble is properly seated within the rope loop and the clamp is positioned correctly to protect the rope. Ensure the thimble is the correct size to support the rope's structure.

Confirm the thimble loop is large enough for the intended hardware. Ensure the thimble itself is not deformed or damaged.
