Redancia 24 mm – code: 05.326.24 – Osculati

24 mm Osculati thimble (code 05.326.24)

The 24 mm thimble Osculati, identified by product code 05.326.24, it is a hardware component designed for use in the nautical and onboard plant engineering field. Its main function is to protect from rubbing the eye splices, contributing to keeping the cable work area neat and correct at the points most stressed by contact.

It is suitable for use on textile cables and on stainless steel cables, where eye protection and abrasion reduction are important aspects in the maintenance and outfitting of maneuvers and connections.

Product features and details

Function: protection of the thimble eye

The thimble is inserted into the eye of the splice to create a support seat better suited for contact with shackles, hooks, or other connecting elements. In this way, it helps to limit direct rubbing of the cable in the eye area, where wear can occur more easily.

Usage compatibility: textile cables and stainless steel cables

This thimble is described as suitable for textile cables and stainless steel cables. When choosing, it is good practice to verify that the geometry of the eye and the splice configuration are consistent with the selected thimble, so as to obtain correct support and smooth passage of the connection.

Size: 24 mm

The reference size of this variant is 24 mm. Size is a key element for matching with the cable and the splice eye: a properly sized thimble helps maintain the shape of the eye and better manage contact points.

Supplier and identification

• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 05.326.24

For assistance requests, reordering, or comparison with other items in the same family, the code is the most immediate and reliable reference.

Typical onboard applications

The thimble is a common accessory in many edge work processes and maintenance activities where eyes on cables are made or restored. Below are some typical applications, expressed generally:

• Eye splices on textile cables used in maneuvers and connections.
• Eye splices on stainless steel cables where protection of the contact point is desired.
• Setups and maintenance for connections with shackles or hardware accessories, when the cable eye works in contact with metal parts.
• Localized restoration on worn eyes, where improved management of rubbing in the splice area is desired.

In general, the thimble is chosen when the splice eye is intended to work in support or tension with components that can generate friction or wear over time.

Operational advantages

Reduction of rubbing at critical points

By inserting the thimble into the eye, contact occurs on the thimble itself rather than directly on the fibers of the textile cable or the surface of the stainless steel cable. This approach is useful to contain abrasion and keep the working area of the eye more orderly.

Better management of the eye shape

A properly chosen thimble helps to maintain a more defined shape of the eye of the swaging. This can facilitate coupling with connecting accessories and make the support more even.

Targeted choice thanks to size and code

The presence of the size 24 mm and the code 05.326.24 allows faster selection and reduces the risk of confusion during reordering, especially when managing multiple sizes or variants within the same hardware category.

Usage and notes for selection

Verification of matching with cable and swaging

To achieve a consistent result, it is advisable to check that the ferrule is suitable for the eye configuration you intend to create. The size 24 mm should be considered as a selection reference, together with the type of cable (textile o stainless steel) and the geometry of the swaging.

Contact point check

In applications where the eye works in contact with other components (for example connecting hardware), it is useful to check that the support is even and that there are no edges or interferences that could increase friction. The ferrule is designed precisely to better manage this area, but the assembly must be consistent and well matched.

Maintenance and inspection

As with all hardware used in maneuvers and connections, it is good practice to perform periodic inspections of the eye and the contact area, especially if the assembly is subject to movement or repeated friction. In case of evident wear, consider restoring the swaging and replacing the involved components.
