Product Description
Thimble Eye Nut HDG | Drop Forged Guying Hardware | IEEE C135.80 Eye Nut
The Yokelink Drop Forged Thimble Eye Nut is an essential component for overhead poleline guying systems. Designed to be threaded onto standard machine bolts, double arming bolts, or the threaded ends of anchor rods, it provides a secure, high-strength termination point for steel guy strands.
Engineered with a Grooved Thimble Contour:
What sets the Thimble Eye Nut apart is its specialized inner contour. The eye features a deep, smooth groove that perfectly cradles the guy wire. This design maintains the natural bending radius of the wire under massive tension, preventing it from kinking, flattening, or fraying, thereby ensuring the longevity of the entire guy assembly.
IEEE C135.80 Compliant Strength:
Integrally drop-forged from high-yield carbon steel in strict accordance with ANSI/IEEE C135.80 standards, these nuts deliver uncompromising tensile strength. Each nut is tapped with standard UNC threads and fully Hot Dip Galvanized to ASTM A153 to resist severe underground and atmospheric corrosion.
Key Technical Features of Thimble Eye Nut
Design: Grooved thimble eye protects guy strand from sharp bends.
Industry Standard: Fully compliant with ANSI/IEEE C135.80.
Manufacturing: Drop-forged carbon steel for ultimate tensile capacity.
Threads: Oversize tapped UNC threads for smooth assembly over HDG bolts.
Finish: Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) per ASTM A153.
Production Process of Thimble Eye Nut
The production of thimble eye nut begins with the selection of high-quality carbon steel or alloy steel round bar, which is cut into suitable blanks and then heated and hot forged to form an integrated thimble-shaped eye and nut body. After trimming the flash and shaping the structure, internal threads are precisely tapped or rolled to meet standard specifications. The workpiece is then subjected to heat treatment such as quenching and tempering to improve mechanical strength and toughness. Finally, it is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance, followed by dimensional inspection, thread detection, hardness test and visual check before packaging and delivery.
Yokelink Quality Control and Testing Equipments for Thimble Eye Nuts
![thimble eye nut testing]( "thimble eye nut testing")
We don't just reference standards; we also verify them in practice: each batch of products undergoes destructive tensile testing in our internal laboratory to ensure load performance exceeds the minimum requirements of IEEE C135.2 or CSA C83 specification; we use optical comparators to ensure the geometric accuracy of chamfered tips and rolled threads, enabling convenient on-site installation; at the same time, we conduct comprehensive testing on Rockwell hardness, coating thickness, and other parameters, and each shipment is accompanied by the original manufacturer's material specifications (MTRs) and quality inspection reports, with all data traceable back to the raw material furnace number.
Application of Thimble Eye Nut![extension anchor rod 4]( "extension anchor rod 4")
Thimble eye nut is a key connecting fastener widely used in overhead power transmission and distribution lines, communication tower guying systems, and pole hardware assemblies. It is mainly used to connect guy wires, anchor rods, stay rods and tension fittings, providing a safe and reliable hinged connection point. Designed with a reinforced thimble structure, it effectively protects cables from wear and bears high tension stably. With hot-dip galvanized surface treatment, it features excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. It is suitable for various outdoor power engineering applications, ensuring stable and safe operation of the whole grounding and building system.
Yokelink Product Quality Inspection Report
We provide comprehensive inspection services for machine bolts, including SGS test bolts and formal Production Part Inspect Report (PPIR). The SGS tests verify the bolts’ compliance with international standards like ASTM A307 and IEEE C135.80, covering mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The PPIR details all inspection items, ensuring each machine bolt meets dimensional, performance and quality requirements, providing reliable quality assurance for overhead line and industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why must I use a Thimble Eye Nut instead of a standard Oval Eye Nut for guy wires?
A: If you wrap a high-tension steel guy wire around a standard Oval Eye Nut, the flat inner surface will cause the wire to kink, concentrate stress, and eventually break. A Thimble Eye Nut features a specific grooved contour that cradles the wire, maintaining its sweeping bending radius and distributing the tension evenly to prevent strand damage.
Q2: Can I use a Thimble Eye Nut on an Anchor Rod?
A: Absolutely. Thimble Eye Nuts are commonly used above ground to terminate the guy wire onto the threaded end of a buried Extension Anchor Rod or standard anchor rod. Just ensure the thread size (e.g., 5/8" or 3/4") of the nut perfectly matches the UNC threads of your anchor rod.
Q3: What does IEEE C135.80 compliance mean for this product?
A: It means the nut is manufactured to the highest utility standards. IEEE C135.80 dictates that the Thimble Eye Nut must be drop-forged (not cast) from specific carbon steel, possess sufficient tensile strength to match the bolt it is attached to, and undergo rigorous dimensional checks to ensure the guy wire fits safely within the groove.
Q4: Will the galvanized threads bind when installing in the field?
A: No. Yokelink Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) Thimble Eye Nuts are specifically tapped slightly oversize after the galvanizing process. This extra thread clearance accommodates the thick, protective zinc coating on standard utility machine bolts and anchor rods, ensuring a smooth, bind-free installation by linemen.
Q5: What is the maximum guy strand size a 5/8" Thimble Eye Nut can accommodate?
A: A standard 5/8" drop-forged Thimble Eye Nut is typically designed with a groove contour large enough to comfortably and safely accommodate steel guy strands up to 1/2 inch in diameter, which covers the vast majority of standard distribution line guying applications.
