Loop Back SOLID Thimble Splice (S 412 Thimble)
This splice is fabricated by forming a loop eye and pressing an aluminum sleeve over both rope parts. The strength depends 100% upon the integrity of the pressed sleeve.
Unirope fabricates these splices according to the strict European standard EN 13411, using original specification sleeves and dies as specified in that standard.
With Crosby Cast Solid Thimble and EN 13411-3 Aluminum Sleeve. Thimbles to DIN 3091.
Solid Thimbles are used where the sling (or rope) is connected to a straight pin. This makes an excellent permanent installation. Within certain limitations we can increase or bush the bore hole, or we can mill down dimension ‘H’ to fit a narrower slot. These thimbles are mainly used on crane ropes.

Unirope fabricates these splices according to the strict European standard EN 13411, using original specification sleeves and dies as specified in that standard.
This method is used for 8-, 9-, and 10 strand as well as non-rotating rope types (19×7, 19×19, 24×7, 34×7), and when Tri-Flex® and Gator-Flex® slings are requested with Thimbles at the ends.

UNI-LOC® Flemish Eye SOLID Thimble Splice (S 412 Thimble)
With cast Solid Thimble and Steel Sleeve for 6-strand wire rope ONLY.
Solid Thimbles are used where the sling (or rope) is connected to a straight pin. This makes an excellent permanent installation. Within certain limitations we can increase or bush the bore hole, or we can mill down dimension ‘H’ to fit a narrower slot. These thimbles are mainly used on crane ropes.
UNI-LOC® Flemish Eye Thimble Splice
With HD galv. Thimble and Steel Sleeve for 6-strand wire rope ONLY.
We use Heavy Duty thimbles with all UNI-LOC® wire rope slings. They withstand the working load conditions of the slings but when severely overloaded they will noticeably stretch. Note that you can not feed this thimble through an identical one to make a choker hitch (use Slip-Through Thimbles).
UNI-LOC® Flemish Eye Loop Splice for 6-strand wire rope ONLY
With Steel Sleeve, different loop dimensions
upon request.
Nylon Brait™
Nylon Brait combines braiding technology with plaited rope optimizing the best of both rope styles. Nylon Brait’s most outstanding feature is its high energy absorption, which comes from a combination of the very long yarn path and stranditure developed especially to maximize energy absorption.
Nylon Brait can absorb (or mitigate) greater amounts of dynamic energy than 3-stranded or braided rope structures with less damage. Brait’s energy absorption also keeps the corresponding loads on attachment points smaller since the rope does more work internally. Brait is easily spliced and the spliced rope delivers 100% of the ropes advertised strength.
Aracom® 100
Aracom 100 is a 12-strand rope comprised of 100% Technora® Aramid fiber. Teijin’s Technora® Aramid is selected for this rope due to its ease of handling and reduced internal yarn-on-yarn friction, which greatly increases this Aramid’s longevity.
Before we twist this fiber we over apply our own exclusive Aralube coating which improves its translation efficiency as we process it through our manufacturing facility. The rope is twisted and braided with sufficient firmness to be considered self-supporting although many users opt for our Maxijacket urethane coated version which greatly increases its abrasion resistance. Aramid has inherent temperature resistance and has little creep once the rope’s permanent elongation is exercised out.
