TRANSCRIPT
DEFINATION OF TURNBUCKLE
Two round tie rods subjected to tensile loading
These rods are connected by coupling
This is known as Turnbuckle
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE straight or in-line pulling only. It should be paid to prevent overloading. 1. Tensioning : the forces on the turnbuckle must
not be such that any deformation occurs.2. Deformation : The tension should be decreased
immediately and deformed parts should be replaced.
The products are regularly inspected. Inspection should take place in accordance with
the safety standards given in the country of use like wear, misuse, overloading etc. with a consequence of deformation and alteration of the steel structure
FUNCTION
Turnbuckles are most commonly used in applications which require a great deal of tension
they can range in mass from about ten grams for thin cable used in a garden fence, to thousands of kilograms for structural elements in buildings and suspension bridges
Turnbuckles are used for tensioning a ship’s rigging and lashings. This device is also known as a bottle screw in this context.
THEORY A turnbuckle, stretching screw or bottle
screw is a device for adjusting the tension or length of ropes, cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems.
It normally consists of two threaded eye bolts, 1. With a left hand thread 2. With a right hand thread
A metal coupling device consisting of an oblong piece internally threaded at both ends into which the corresponding sections of two threaded rods are screwed in order to form a unit that can be adjusted for tension or length.
USE OF TURNBUCKLES
This is used for Connecting Tie Rods Of stuctures
This is used for Connecting links
This is used for Connecting wire
This is used for Connecting tension support of vertical pole
