Grommets

Grommet wire rope slings
Hand-splice or mechanical
splice grommets
Grommets either have a wire rope body
or a body made up of six strands which
are laid helically around a strand core.
Either a hand-splice or a mechanical
splice then forms an endless sling body.
The minimum circumference
of the sling is 96 times the
grommet’s body diameter.
Rope-laid grommets are also
available.
