Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting is required.
This document replaces GB/T 5974.1-2006 "Ordinary thimbles for wire ropes" and GB/T 5974.2-2006 "Heavy thimbles for wire ropes".
Compared with GB/T 5974.1-2006 and GB/T 5974.2-2006, in addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
--Added terms and definitions (see Chapter 3);
--Added the type classification of collars (see 4.1);
--The model designation of ordinary thimbles and heavy thimbles has been changed (see 4.3, 3.2 of GB/T 5974.1-2006 and GB/T 5974.2-2006, 3.2);
-- Changed the applicable material specifications for heavy-duty collars (see Table 3, Table 2 of GB/T 5974.2-2006);
--The load-bearing capacity of heavy-duty collars has been changed (see 5.2.2, 4.4 of GB/T 5974.2-2006);
--Increased fatigue performance of heavy-duty collars (see 5.3);
--Added non-destructive testing requirements for heavy collars (see 5.5);
--Added the testing machine requirements for the ring bearing capacity test (see 6.3.1);
--Added fatigue test for heavy collars (see 6.4);
--Added non-destructive testing methods for heavy collars (see 6.5);
--Added the inspection category of collars (see 7.1);
--Added the inspection items for the collar (see Table 5);
-- Changed the sampling method and judgment principle for the factory inspection of thimbles (see 7.2.2, Table 3 of GB/T 5974.1-2006 and GB/T 5974.2-2006 (Table 3);
--Added type inspection of collars (see 7.3).

3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 8706 and the following apply to this document.
Nominal thimble size the largest nominal diameter of wire rope for which the thimble is suitable (d).
4 Types and basic dimensions
4.1 Type classification
According to the tensile strength of the wire rope that the wire rope thimble (hereinafter referred to as "thimble") is suitable for, it is divided into ordinary thimble and heavy-duty thimble.
Ordinary thimbles are suitable for steel wire ropes with a tensile strength not exceeding 1 770 MPa, code-named GT.
