BS464 Thimble is a wire rope thimble manufactured according to British Standard BS 464, which is widely used for wire rope end processing. It is mostly made of high-quality low-carbon steel and formed by forging or stamping process to ensure structural strength. The surface is usually hot-dip galvanized, which not only gives it good rust resistance, but also can resist slight wear to a certain extent, suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor environments. The thimble has a variety of specifications and can be adapted to wire ropes with different diameters from 8mm to 38mm. When in use, it is embedded in the eye of the wire rope, which can effectively prevent the internal steel wire from being damaged when the wire rope is bent or stressed, and prolong the service life of the wire rope. It is an important accessory to ensure the safety and stability of wire rope operations.

Excellent protection performance: The unique structural design can effectively disperse the stress on the wire rope, significantly reduce the risk of wear and deformation caused by bending and friction, greatly reduce the possibility of internal wire breakage, and effectively extend the service life of the wire rope in frequent use scenarios.
Excellent materials and craftsmanship: Low carbon steel is selected as the basic material, which has good strength and toughness; the hot-dip galvanizing process forms a strong and dense zinc layer on the surface of the product, which can resist corrosion for a long time in humid and outdoor environments, ensuring stable and reliable product performance.
Precise specification adaptation: From 8mm to 38mm, a variety of specifications can be closely matched with wire ropes of different diameters. Whether it is light traction operations or heavy lifting and hoisting operations, you can find suitable specifications to meet diverse application needs.
Strictly follow the standards: Produced in strict accordance with BS 464 standards, the products meet the standard requirements in terms of quality, dimensional accuracy, performance parameters, etc. The product quality is reliable and can be used in various operating scenarios with high safety requirements.
Construction field: It plays a key role in the connection of wire ropes for large lifting equipment such as tower cranes and elevators. It can prevent the eye of the wire rope from being damaged due to frequent force and friction when lifting building materials (such as prefabricated panels, steel beams and other heavy objects), thereby reducing the probability of safety accidents.
Logistics and warehousing industry: It is used to protect the wire ropes used to bundle and lift goods during cargo loading and unloading. For example, during container loading and unloading and large equipment handling, it is necessary to ensure that the eye of the wire rope is not damaged, so as to ensure that the goods are transported smoothly and safely during the handling process.
Navigation and ship operations: It protects the eye of the cable during ship mooring and towing operations. Its good anti-rust performance can effectively resist the corrosion of seawater and external friction, and ensure the reliability of the mooring cable when the ship is docked at the dock and operating at sea, thus ensuring the safety of the ship.
Electric power engineering installation: It is used to fix and protect the wire rope used for lifting when erecting wires and cables and installing power equipment. Especially in scenarios such as high-altitude operations and installation of large power equipment, it ensures the smooth progress of operations and improves the safety of the operation process.
Q1: How to choose the right specification?
Choose according to the maximum load of the actual operation. For example, if you are lifting a 10-ton load, you need to choose a shackle specification with a working load limit greater than 10 tons. At the same time, refer to the dimensions in the product parameters to ensure that it is compatible with the connected ropes, chains, etc. .
Q3: What is the operating temperature range?
The shackle is certified for use in an environment of - 40°C (-40°F) to 204°C (400°F). Exceeding this temperature range may affect the material performance and connection safety .
Q3: What precautions are there for installation and removal?
During installation, be sure to tighten the threaded pin in place to prevent loosening; during removal, avoid violent operation to damage the thread. Before and during use, regularly check for thread wear and cracks on the body.
Q3: Can relevant certifications be provided?
Some manufacturers can provide certification certificates for specified standards such as ABS, DNV, Lloyds, etc., which need to be requested when placing an order, and may incur additional costs .
