Wire rope thimbles, DIN 6899: rope diameter, groove width, overall and inside length and width (two published tables) — dimension sheet Source: Xem Studio, https://xemstudio.com/objects/wire-rope-thimbles-din-6899/ (sheet CC BY 4.0) Basis: Jinbo Marine's DIN 6899 B size table (rope 2.5 to 30 mm) and Load-Tech's DIN 6899 table (3 to 48 mm); the two disagree on the overall length, so both are shown; numbers only Catalog version: 2026-10-20 Sizes: see table below - Two tables, each with its own letters, in mm. Jinbo Marine (form B): rope diameter, groove width a, overall length B, inside length I, inside width C, back thickness s, weight per 100. Load-Tech: designation (for example 9x10), rope range, and B, F, H, A, D, E. The letters of one table are not those of the other and neither source defines them in text. - They agree on the inside dimensions: pairing the two tables by groove width (Jinbo's a = Load-Tech's B, 14 sizes from 4 to 32 mm), Load-Tech's H equals Jinbo's inside length I and Load-Tech's D equals Jinbo's inside width C in every pair (for example 38 and 24 at the 9 / 10 mm size; 45 and 28 at 11 / 12; 58 and 36 at 15 / 16). They differ on the overall length: Load-Tech's A minus Jinbo's B runs from -1 mm (7 / 8 mm size: 50 against 51) to +14 mm (26 / 28 mm size: 166 against 152); for the 9 / 10 mm thimble Jinbo's B is 57 mm and Load-Tech's A is 59, for 11 / 12 mm 64 against 70, for 20 / 22 mm 114 against 126. The sources do not say why, so neither is called wrong here: check the thimble you buy. - Jinbo's page lists the material as Q235 and the size range as 1/8 in to 1-1/4 in, and shows the table under the name DIN 6899 B; the Load-Tech table does not name the form. Load ratings are not given. Tied to rigging: shackles, clips and turnbuckles are on the pages linked below. - No file: the groove cross-section and the side-profile curve are not given as numbers and the two tables disagree on the length.
