Gewindestange

Gewindestange, also known as threaded rod, is a long metal rod with external screw threads running along its entire length. It is a common fastener used in various construction, plumbing, and industrial applications. The threads allow it to be joined with nuts or other threaded components to create secure connections.

Gewindestangen are typically made from steel, stainless steel, brass, or aluminum, with steel being the most common due to its strength and cost-effectiveness. They come in a variety of diameters, lengths, and thread pitches to suit different needs. The threads can be of a standard coarse or fine pitch, depending on the application's requirements for strength and adjustability.

The primary function of a Gewindestange is to provide a means of joining or suspending objects. They are often used as anchor bolts, supporting heavy loads from above, or to connect structural elements. In plumbing, they can be used to secure pipes or fixtures. In DIY projects and furniture construction, they offer a strong and adjustable joining method.

To use a Gewindestange, nuts are typically threaded onto both ends of the rod, or the rod is passed through holes in the components to be joined and secured with nuts on either side. Washers are often used in conjunction with nuts to distribute the load and prevent damage to the surface. The length of the Gewindestange can be cut to size as needed, making it a versatile fastener.
