Bügelendstücke

Bügelendstücke, also known as stirrup end pieces or bracket ends, are specialized components used in various mechanical and structural applications. They are typically small, U-shaped or looped metal pieces designed to connect or terminate a rod, cable, or strap. The name "Bügelendstück" itself comes from the German words "Bügel" (stirrup or bracket) and "Endstück" (end piece), reflecting their common form and function.

These components are often found in applications requiring a secure and reliable attachment point. For example, they are used in the automotive industry for exhaust systems or suspension components, providing a flexible connection point. In construction, Bügelendstücke can be integrated into frameworks or support structures. They are also prevalent in furniture manufacturing, particularly for items that utilize tensioned elements. The design of a Bügelendstück can vary significantly depending on its intended use, ranging from simple, open loops to more complex, swiveling attachments with integrated fasteners. The materials used also differ, commonly including steel, stainless steel, or various alloys chosen for strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Their primary purpose is to distribute stress and facilitate the connection of disparate parts in a system.
