Sling eyes are designed to provide what amount to "small inverted slings" at the ends of

general forces which apply to legs of a sling rigged as a basket.
A sling eye should never be used over a hook or pin with a body diameter larger than the

natural width of the eye. Never force an eye onto a hook.
The eye should always be used on a hook or pin with at least the nominal diameter of the
rope—since applying the D/d Ratio shows an efciency loss of approximately 50% when
the relationship is less than 1/1.
Shackles &

D/d RATIO:
D/d is the ratio of the diameter around which the sling is bent divided by the body diameter of the sling. This ratio
has an effect on the rated capacity of slings. When a wire rope is bent around any sheave or other object there is

a loss of strength due to this bending action. As the D/d ratio becomes smaller this loss of strength becomes
greater and the rope becomes less efcient. This curve relates the efciency of a rope diameter to different D/d
ratios. This curve is based on static loads and applies to 6-strand class 6×19 and 6×37 wire rope.

Eye - Eye Wire Rope Slings
A mechanical-spliced wire rope sling is constructed when eyes are formed using the Flemish
eye splice. Ends are then secured by pressing a metal sleeve over the ends of the strands
of the splice. Pull is directly along the centerline of rope and eye. This splicing method gives

Thimbles are used to protect steel wire rope, bre rope or synthetic rope. They are available in
various models and sizes. All indicated types of thimbles in this catalogue can be used in
combination with the above mentioned types of ropes.
Slings
Web
Thimbles must be regularly inspected in accordance with the standards given in the country of use. This is required because the products
in use may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading which may lead to deformation and/or alteration of the steel structure.
Make sure that the (wire) rope ts properly into the groove of the thimble you use. The nominal size of the thimble represents the
Round
Slings
diameter of the (wire) rope for which it is intended to be used. If there is no thimble available with a nominal size that meets the size of
your (wire) rope, the next larger size of thimble must be used.
Before use, check if the thimble is free from impurities, sharp edges, cracks or other irregularities which may damage the wire rope and
therefore affect the performance of the wire rope.
