Steel Thimble Sheave for Pole Band Guy Clip, Weight 1.57 lb
A thimble is a forged or cast line-fitting component used in overhead power line construction to protect wire rope, guy wire, or conductor loops from abrasion, deformation, and premature wear. Installed inside an eye loop, the thimble maintains the correct bend radius, distributes mechanical load evenly, and extends the service life of tensioned line assemblies in transmission and distribution networks.
Key Features
- Mechanical Protection: Prevents crushing, chafing, and fatigue at wire rope or conductor eye terminations
- Load Distribution: Maintains uniform stress and correct curvature under high tensile loads
- High-Strength Material: Manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel or corrosion-resistant alloys
- Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for long-term outdoor exposure in harsh grid environments
- Standards Compliance: Designed to meet IEC, ASTM, or utility-specific specifications
- Application Versatility: Compatible with guy wires, stay sets, conductors, and optical ground wires (OPGW)
