What is a thimble on a crane?
Thimbles provide a couple of important attributes; 1) They protect the wire from contact with edges that may damage the wires. 2) They can increase the sling's breaking strength since the formed sling eye will not be subject to sharp bends under load.
What is a thimble on a safety harness?
Thimbles: The thimble (protective plastic sleeve) must be firmly seated in the eye of the splice, and the splice should have no loose or cut strands. The edges of the thimble should be free of sharp edges, distortion, or cracks.
Thimbles are used to protect the eyes of cable, and rope slings from abrasion by providing a solid steel barrier between the fragile cable strands and the other rigging fitting used in the connection. Thimbles also prevent eye deformation or kinking by giving structure to the cable eye.
