Commercial Type Thimble
Commercial Type Thimble is a type of threaded fastener commonly used in commercial and industrial applications. It is designed for use in various types of equipment and structures where it is necessary to provide a reliable attachment point for tension members such as cables, chains, or ropes.
A commercial type thimble typically has a threaded shank that engages with a mating nut to securely fasten two or more components together. The threaded shank provides reliable engagement with the mating nut, and the threaded section typically extends the entire length of the shank. The thimble also has a loop at one end of the shank that provides a reliable attachment point for the tension member.
Commercial type thimbles are typically made from high-quality carbon steel or stainless steel, which ensures that they have good mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and impact resistance. The threaded engagement between the thimble and the mating nut allows for easy installation and disassembly, while also providing a high level of torsional strength and stability to the fastened assembly.
Commercial type thimbles are commonly used in various types of equipment and structures, including but not limited to:
• Machinery and equipment components
• Hoisting and lifting equipment
• Transmission and distribution systems
• Security and safety systems
• Mining and excavation equipment
The thimble loop provides a convenient attachment point for tension members such as cables, chains, or ropes. The loop can be easily engaged with the tension member, providing a reliable connection that can withstand high tensile loads. The threaded engagement between the thimble and the mating nut allows for easy installation and disassembly, while also providing a high level of torsional strength and stability to the fastened assembly.
Commercial type thimbles are typically used in critical applications where high loads and demanding conditions are present. They are also highly corrosion-resistant, which means that they are suitable for use in outdoor applications where exposure to moisture and chemicals is likely. Their combination of mechanical strength, durability, and corrosion resistance make them an excellent choice for a range of commercial and industrial applications where high-quality fasteners are required.
