BS464-1958 Ordinary Rigging Thimbles

Wire rope thimbles are just one of the many types of wire rope fittings (ferrules,shackles,terminals, etc.) Thimbles are perfect for wire ropes terminating in a loop and are one of the most commonly used end fittings for steel cable.They are used to help protect the steel wire-rope which forms the eye,and therefore will greatly extend the working life of the rope,they also add extra rigidity to a soft loop making it stronger and much easier to attach wherever it is needed.

Key Features & Benefits

BS464-1958 Compliance for Safety

Adhering strictly to the BS464-1958 standard ensures the thimble meets rigorous safety and performance requirements. This compliance gives users confidence in its ability to withstand industrial rigging stresses, reducing the risk of wire rope failure.

Hot-Dip Galvanization for Corrosion Resistance

The hot-dip galvanization surface treatment creates a thick, uniform zinc layer that protects the steel from rust and corrosion. This makes the thimble suitable for outdoor, marine, or high-humidity environments, extending its service life by up to 3 times compared to non-galvanized alternatives.

Precision Engineering for Wire Rope Protection

Each thimble is precision-machined to match the curvature of wire ropes of corresponding sizes. This design prevents the wire rope from kinking or flattening at connection points, preserving the rope’s tensile strength and avoiding premature wear.

High-Quality Steel for Strength

Made from high-quality steel sourced from renowned steel groups, the thimble boasts exceptional load-bearing capacity. It can withstand the tension exerted by heavy wire ropes, ensuring stable performance in lifting and rigging operations.

Versatile Size Range for Flexibility

With sizes ranging from 8 mm to 64 mm, the TP-LIFTING Rigging Ordinary Thimbles BS464-1958 is compatible with a wide variety of wire ropes, making it a versatile choice for different industrial rigging needs—from small-scale lifting to heavy-duty industrial applications.

FAQ

Why is compliance with BS464-1958 important for this thimble?

The BS464-1958 standard specifies strict requirements for the design, material, and performance of rigging thimbles. Compliance ensures the thimble can safely protect wire ropes and withstand industrial loads, reducing the risk of accidents in rigging operations.

What is the advantage of hot-dip galvanization over other surface treatments?

Hot-dip galvanization creates a thicker and more durable zinc coating compared to electroplating. This coating adheres tightly to the steel, providing superior corrosion resistance—critical for thimbles used in outdoor or humid environments.

Can I order a custom size that is not listed in the standard range?

Yes. We offer OEM/ODM services and can produce thimbles in custom sizes (outside the 8-64 mm range) based on your specific requirements. Simply provide the desired dimensions and wire rope compatibility, and our engineering team will develop a solution.

How do I choose the right size thimble for my wire rope?

Select a thimble with a model number that matches the diameter of your wire rope. For example, a 8 mm wire rope requires the TP-BS464-8mm thimble. Using a mismatched size can cause wire rope damage or thimble failure.
