koblinger

Koblinger is a term used in Norwegian and Danish to denote a connection or coupling between two components. The word is the plural form of kobling, derived from the verb koble, meaning to connect or couple. In both languages, koblinger covers a broad range of devices and concepts intended to join parts of a system.

The concept encompasses several types of connections. Mechanical koblinger include shaft couplings that transmit torque between two shafts, pipe or tube couplings that join piping segments, and fasteners designed to hold components in alignment. Electrical koblinger refer to connectors and junctions used to join electrical circuits, such as plug-and-socket connectors and terminal blocks. Hydraulic and pneumatic koblinger are fittings or couplers that connect hoses and tubes in fluid-power systems. In telecommunications and data infrastructure, koblinger can describe connectors that join cables, fiber optic links, or other transmission media. In railway contexts, koblinger are the couplings that link rolling stock, enabling transfer of forces and motion between cars.

Usage varies by language and industry, but the underlying idea remains a link or joint that enables transfer of mechanical force, electrical signals, or fluids. The Norwegian term kobling has equivalents in other languages; for example, Swedish uses koppling for a similar concept.
