linningstyger

Linningstyger are a type of fastening and support device commonly used in maritime, industrial, and construction settings. The term originates from the Swedish word linning, meaning "line," combined with –tyger, which denotes a "thread" or "stitch," and refers to a line that is treated or reinforced to provide additional strength. Linningstyger are typically made from high‑strength synthetic fibers such as polyester or nylon, sometimes combined with steel wire or Kevlar for added durability. They are available in various configurations, including single‑line studs, multi‑strand braid, and braided cable forms, and can be eyeleted, split‑eyeleted, or heat‑seamed for customization.

The primary function of linningstyger is to secure loads, anchor heavy equipment, or act as tension members in rigging systems. In shipping, they are employed to secure cargo, moor vessels, or install temporary docking fixtures. In construction and industrial plant settings, linningstyger can be used as part of scaffolding systems, to tie down pipe runs, or to attach safety harnesses. Some specialized marine linningstyger are coated with corrosion‑resistant materials or cryo‑treated to improve fatigue life in harsh sea environments.

These fasteners are typically tested in accordance with ISO 8808 or ASTM D4159 standards, ensuring consistent performance under load and resistance to abrasion and UV degradation. The use of linningstyger continues to grow as industries demand lighter, stronger, and more versatile anchoring solutions.
