Ruwag Wire Rope Thimble M6 (2) provides secure protection for wire ropes against wear and deformation. Includes two thimbles sized M6 for rope fittings

Ruwag Wire Rope Thimble M6 (2) is a practical component designed for use with wire ropes, typically helping maintain the rope’s structural integrity and shape at attachment points. This set includes two M6-sized thimbles, tailored for wire ropes branded or referred to as Ruwag Wire Rope in the product listing.

The thimble acts as a protective gauge inside a loop of wire rope, preventing wear and reducing stress concentrations that can lead to premature fraying or damage. When replacing or repairing wire rope setups, it’s important to compare the M6 size fitting on the old thimble to this unit, ensuring proper compatibility for your rope diameter and connection hardware.

Buyers should confirm that their wire rope project or application calls for M6-sized thimbles to ensure the correct fit. This part is suitable for securing and extending the life of wire rope assemblies in lifting, rigging, marine, or construction uses where Ruwag Wire Rope thimbles are specified.

  • Set includes two wire rope thimbles, size M6
  • Designed to protect wire rope loops from wear
  • New condition, ready for installation
