Redancia 2.5 mm – code: 05.326.25 – Osculati

2.5 mm Osculati thimble (code 05.326.25)

The 2.5 mm thimble Osculati, identified by code 05.326.25, it is a hardware component designed for use on eye splices. Its main function is protection from chafing at the contact point between the thimble eye and the connecting element (shackles, hooks, rings, or other deck accessories), helping to keep the cable work point neat and protected.

It is suitable for use with textile cables and stainless steel cables, in typical contexts of nautics and onboard systems, where attention to detail and protection of wear-prone parts are important aspects of routine maintenance.

Product features and details

Function: protection of the splice eye

The thimble is inserted inside the splice eye to create a more defined and protected bearing seat. In this way it helps to:

• reduce rubbing in the eye area;
• protect the splice at the contact point;
• maintain an neater shape of the eye during use.

Usage compatibility (based on available description)

This ferrule is suitable for:

• textile cables;
• stainless steel cables.

The choice of the correct ferrule depends on the splicing method and cable size: in this sheet the variant is 2.5 mm.

Variant and identification

• Size/variant: 2.5 mm
• Supplier code: 05.326.25
• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

The ferrule is a common accessory when making or restoring eye terminals on cables used onboard. In particular, it can be used in processes and interventions such as:

• creating eye splices on textile cables;
• protection of the contact point on stainless steel cables with eye terminal;
• maintenance and replacement of worn components in areas subject to friction;
• outfitting and refitting where a neater connection and protected.

In the nautical field, attention to protecting work points helps to keep maneuver management more efficient and reduce localized cable wear over time, especially where repeated contacts or movements occur.

Operational advantages

Targeted protection where needed

The main advantage is the protection of the splicing at the most exposed point: the eye. By inserting the thimble, the contact area becomes more defined and less subject to direct abrasion on the cable.

Simple solution for maintenance and fitting

The thimble is an essential and practical hardware component, useful both during equipment and during the maintenance. It is a typical choice when you want to care for the eye terminal and preserve the cable's work area.

Suitable for textile and stainless steel cables

The possibility of use on textile cables and stainless steel cables makes it a versatile accessory for various configurations on board, always respecting the correct size and the splicing work.

Use and notes

Size selection

This datasheet refers to the 2.5 mm thimble. For a correct result, it is important to select the size consistent with the cable and the eye of the splice you intend to make or restore. If you are comparing multiple variants, always check that the thimble fits correctly into the eye without forcing and without leaving excessive play.

Installation in the splice

The thimble is positioned inside the eye during the splicing process. During assembly, ensure the alignment and correct seating of the thimble, so as to obtain a neat support and effective protection in the contact area.

Periodic checks

In a real use context (nautical/plant engineering), it is good practice to carry out periodic checks of the eye terminal: check the condition of the cable near the splice and the possible presence of signs of rubbing. In case of obvious wear, consider replacing the affected components.

Quick identification for reorder

To facilitate reordering or spare parts management, refer to the Osculati code 05.326.25 and size 2.5 mm.
