| Kraflschlüsse adhesion, bonding, linking Explanation: You've got a typo. It should be 'Kraf*t*schluss'. Take your pick from the above, with or without the prefix 'force'. |

peer agreement (net): -1| Kraftschluß frictional connection/firm seat/tight seal/strong closure Explanation: Gibt's kein "Kraftschlüsse." Du suchst "Kraftschluß." Ultimately, you'll have to select the word or phrase that feels best to you. Our esteemed colleague, Herr John Jory, hat auch recht. Best of luck! Viel Spaß! :) frictional connection/firm seat/tight seal/strong closure Bitte sehen Sie: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1643678 German to English translations Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial German term or phrase: "Kraftschluss" Wirkung wie Überlastsicherung Nach dem Überschreiten des eingestellten Kraftschlusses rutschen die Spannsätze durch. Wertvolle Maschinenteile werden geschützt. Die Spannsätze unterliegen hierbei aber den gleichen Gesetzen, wie jede andere Reibschlussverbindung auch - als Rutschkupplung nicht geeignet English translation: frictional connection - also found in Brandstetter which I often use for technical issues Selected response from: Capesha Germany SUMMARY OF ALL ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS PROVIDED 3 +2 frictional connection Capesha 4 friction lock [ProZ.com member] John Jory 3 traction level [ProZ.com member] Oliver Walter Answers 13 mins confidence: Answerer confidence 3/5Answerer confidence 3/5 peer agreement (net): +2 frictional connection also found in Brandstetter which I often use for technical issues Capesha Germany Specializes in field Native speaker of: German PRO pts in category: 4 Note from asker to answerer Selected automatically based on peer agreement.

Perhaps friction instead of traction. Reference: http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/dings.cgi?o=3021;iservice=en-de;q...

12 hrs confidence:
van der Waals forces Explanation: From a chemical point of view, this is a load of bunkum! IMHO, the only thing that "Kraftschlüsse" between molecules could be are "van der Waals forces" (see the ref.). Additional hydrogen bonding (stronger than van der Waals) would increase the total bonding between macromolecules -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2006-12-03 08:42:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The hydrogen bridges would look like: (M = coal) M-H-M O H -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2006-12-03 08:43:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- didn't align properly, try again (ignore the .....) ...M-H-M .......O .......H -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2006-12-03 08:47:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note that van der Waals forces do not constitute bonding, it is merely dipole attraction between molecules - a bit like 2 magnets -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2006-12-03 11:16:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another thought: you could use "attractive forces" (which are van der Waals forces) if you prefer a more general term Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals%27_forces |
