Product Description
Stainless Steel 316 Thimble
SKU:T-SST06
Manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel, these thimbles provide excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and environmental wear.
This makes them particularly suitable for use in saltwater environments where standard steel components can quickly deteriorate.
Their corrosion resistance also makes them well suited to outdoor installations, marine equipment, and industrial environments exposed to moisture and harsh conditions.

Product Description
Stainless steel thimbles are designed to reinforce and protect the eye of wire ropes and cables used in marine, lifting, and rigging applications. Installed within the loop of a wire rope, the thimble maintains the correct shape of the eye while preventing abrasion and crushing where the rope connects to shackles, hooks, or other fittings.
Wire rope thimbles are an essential component in many rigging assemblies. By protecting the rope eye from direct friction and compression, they significantly extend the working life of the cable and help maintain the integrity of lifting and securing systems.
Stainless steel thimbles are widely used in marine rigging, mooring lines, lifting slings, and cable assemblies where long-term reliability is required. Their smooth curved profile helps distribute loads evenly across the wire rope while reducing wear during repeated use.
Typical applications include:
• Reinforcing wire rope eyes in rigging and lifting systems
• Marine mooring lines and anchor connections
• Stainless steel cable assemblies and safety lines
• Marine deck rigging and boat equipment
• Construction and industrial lifting installations
Suitable for both professional and commercial use, stainless steel wire rope thimbles provide a durable and corrosion-resistant solution for protecting cable assemblies in demanding environments.
Available for bulk purchase, these thimbles are ideal for marinas, marine engineers, rigging companies, and industrial suppliers who require dependable hardware with consistent quality and fast delivery.
