Strakkere
Strakkere is a Norwegian term used to refer to devices or mechanisms that apply and maintain tension in a system. The word derives from the verb strakke, meaning to tighten or stretch, with the agent-noun suffix -er forming the plural “strakkere.” In practice, strakkere are components designed to pull and hold components under load, such as cables, belts, or fabrics.
The term appears in various technical contexts, though it is not universally standardized in modern usage.
Usage and terminology vary by region and industry. More common Norwegian terms for similar functions include
