DIN6899B Thimble With Master Link Assembly For Mooring Rope
Description:
In mooring systems, ropes are usually spliced at both ends with thimbles and main links to protect the rope from friction and to facilitate easy connection with other components using shackles. This setup provides a strong and durable attachment point for the mooring system, ensuring the rope is securely anchored and resistant to wear and tear.
The thimble is used to protect the rope from eye wear and abrasion, while the main link provides a reliable attachment point for the rope. This configuration not only increases the life of the rope, it also simplifies the process of using shackles to connect the rope to other components, thereby simplifying the entire mooring system setup.
By integrating thimbles and main links into the mooring system, the ropes are better able to withstand the forces and environmental conditions they encounter, ultimately contributing to the safety and effectiveness of the mooring.
Thimble with master link assembly is widely used in marine operations, which will be spliced at the end of synthetic ropes, like in Fish Farm Grids, Kelp Longlines, Floating Solar PV Mooring, STS transfers quick release system.
Key Advantages:
Enhanced Durability:
Thimbles extend rope lifespan by 30–50% by reducing wear at stress points.
Master links prevent asymmetric loading, reducing component fatigue.
Safety & Reliability:
Fail-safe designs comply with OCIMF/ISO standards for mooring systems.
High-visibility thimbles (e.g., yellow zinc coating) for easy inspection.
Operational Flexibility:
Modular assembly allows rapid reconfiguration of mooring layouts.
Compatible with third-party hardware (shackles, hooks, swivels).
