Questions and Answers
Q: How does a turnbuckle work?
A turnbuckle, stretching screw or bottlescrew is a device for adjusting the tension or length of ropes, rigging cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems
One end has a right handed thread and the other end has a left handed thread. Tension can be adjusted by rotating the frame, which causes both eye bolts to be screwed in or out simultaneously, without twisting the anchor points or attached cables
Q: What size turnbuckle should i buy?
If you are using the turnbuckle with wire rope we always recommend doubling the diameter of turnbuckle from the wire rope diameter
Example...
3mm wire rope - 6mm turnbuckle
4mm wire rope - 8mm turnbuckle
5mm wire rope - 10mm turnbuckle
6mm wire rope - 12mm turnbuckle
