2. Turnbuckle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnbuckle

   A turnbuckle, stretching screw or bottlescrew 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 , one screwed into each end of a small metal frame, one with a conventional right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread.

3. Pipe support - Wikipedia

   It can be simply kept on steel structure for only rest type supports. To simultaneously restrict in another direction separate plate or Lift up Lug can be used. A pipe anchor is a rigid support that restricts movement in all three orthogonal directions and all three rotational directions, i.e. restricting al the 6 degrees of freedom This ...

4. Safety wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_wire

   Safety wire is commonly 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 or 1 mm (0.020, 0.025, 0.032 or 0.041 in) in diameter, but 0.5-and-1 mm (0.021-and-0.051 in) diameters are also available. It is usually made of stainless steel, but is also available in monel and inconel alloys for high temperature applications and copper for break-away applications. [7]

5. Stainless steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

   Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an iron-based alloy containing a minimum level of chromium that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the 10.5%, or more, chromium content which forms a passive film that can protect the material ...

   Camshaft cover stud threaded 1 ⁄ 4-20 UNC (left, for aluminium cylinder head) and 1 ⁄ 4-28 UNF (right, for steel nut; from a 1960s Jaguar XK engine) The common V-thread standards ( ISO 261 and Unified Thread Standard ) include a coarse pitch and a fine pitch for each major diameter.

7. Aircraft flight control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_control_system

   Turnbuckles are often used to adjust control cable tension. The Cessna Skyhawk is a typical example of an aircraft that uses this type of system. Gust locks are often used on parked aircraft with mechanical systems to protect the control surfaces and linkages from damage from wind. Some aircraft have gust locks fitted as part of the control system.
