Specification summary of DIN 6899 as applied to wire rope thimble: the dimensions the standard fixes, the full size range supplied, and the related designations commonly cross-referenced.
DIN 6899 — Scope
The table below lists the dimensions catalogued for wire rope thimble — iso / din (series 155) under DIN 6899. The scope of DIN 6899 itself is not summarised here — where a figure matters, confirm it against the published document.
Tolerance & Product Grades
Product grade is a concept from dimensional fastener standards and does not apply to DIN 6899. Tolerances for this part are the limits shown against each dimension in the table.

Equivalent Standards
Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Wire Rope Thimble — ISO / DIN (Series 155) page.
Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
Companion Standards
A complete specification for wire rope thimble — iso / din (series 155) normally cites several documents: one for the geometry, one for the material or mechanical properties, and one for the finish. DIN 6899 is one of them, not all of them.
Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing
Need a rigging hardware to this standard in a non-standard size?
Parts built to DIN 6899 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by hot forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
