What is the action called when you raise the pressure or tension on a component?

The action of raising the pressure or tension on a component is referred to as "Anziehen." This term is commonly used in mechanical contexts where components, such as bolts or screws, are tightened to create a secure connection. When you perform "Anziehen," you apply a force that increases the clamping pressure, which helps to prevent the loosening of the components due to vibrations or other external forces.

In contrast, the other terms relate to different concepts. "Drehmoment" refers to torque, a measure of the rotational force applied to an object but does not specifically describe the action of increasing tension. "Riss" translates to a crack or fracture, which is a failure state rather than an action taken on a component. "Beilagscheibe" is a washer, a component often used in conjunction with bolts to distribute loads but does not describe the action of increasing tension itself. Understanding these distinctions reinforces the correct identification of mechanical terms and their applications.
