Samson Composite Thimble (formerly Orkot)
ORKOT® THIMBLE
PRODUCT CODE: 963
The Orkot® Thimble is a means of attaching synthetic ropes to wire ropes via a shackle. Products made from Orkot® Marine composite materials have exceptional wear resistance and virtually no swell in water, which provides dimensional stability. They offer tolerance to edge loading and misalignment even with the heaviest loads, and are particularly suited to freeze fitting without the danger of shattering. Orkot® TLM Marine is the standard grade of material incorporating a woven-fabric reinforcement and solid lubricants within a thermosetting resin matrix. The material can be used in conjunction with water and grease lubrication,and can be run dry for limited periods.
