Value Collection BDNA-C81135 Wire Rope Thimble 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-C81135 is a closed galvanized steel wire rope thimble designed to protect rope loops from abrasion and deformation at termination points. Sized for 1/2-inch rope diameter, this thimble fits inside a swaged or pressed loop to maintain the rope's bend radius and prevent wear where the rope contacts a shackle, hook, or anchor point. It is a standard rigging accessory used in lifting, marine, construction, and general industrial tie-down applications. Installation is performed by riggers, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians as part of a wire rope assembly.

This thimble is suited for use in both light industrial and field rigging assemblies where a 1/2-inch wire rope termination requires reinforcement. The closed design keeps the thimble seated within the loop during swaging or mechanical pressing. Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and marine environments. It is typically installed as part of a wire rope end fitting alongside a ferrule sleeve, swage fitting, or wire rope clip.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rigging accessory for use with 1/2-inch diameter wire rope terminations in standard lifting, marine, and tie-down assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified rigger or maintenance technician. The thimble should be seated fully within the rope loop before swaging or pressing the ferrule sleeve. Inspect the thimble and rope for damage before assembly. Follow applicable ASME B30 or OSHA rigging standards for the intended load rating and application.
