feszítrudak

Feszítúrúda, meaning "tension rod" in Hungarian, refers to a type of adjustable rod used for applying tension between two points. These rods are commonly found in construction, particularly in applications where structural support or stabilization is required. They function by being screwed into place, with an internal mechanism that allows for the lengthening or shortening of the rod, thereby increasing or decreasing the tension exerted.

The primary purpose of a feszítúrúda is to provide bracing or to counteract forces that might otherwise cause a structure to deform or collapse. For example, they can be used in timber framing to prevent walls from bowing outwards or to secure roof structures. In some cases, they are employed in temporary bracing during construction phases before permanent supports are in place. The materials used for feszítúrúda typically include steel or other strong metals to withstand significant tensile forces. Their adjustability makes them versatile, allowing for precise tensioning to meet specific engineering requirements. The design often involves threaded ends and a central connecting piece that can be rotated.
