A wire rope thimble is a small metal device used to protect the eye or loop of a wire rope from wear and abrasion. It typically has a cylindrical or oval shape with an open end where the wire rope is inserted. The thimble helps maintain the shape of the loop and prevents the wire rope from kinking or flattening under load. Wire rope thimbles are commonly used in rigging, lifting, and marine applications to enhance the longevity and safety of wire rope assemblie
