Pull-off resistance

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The trigger pull or trigger weight is the force that has to be exerted to set certain mechanisms in motion.

Withdrawal resistance in dentistry

In dentistry , pull-off resistance refers to the force that counteracts the holding force of a dental prosthesis in the case of sticky food.

Pull-off resistance in textile technology

In textile technology, pull-off resistance (also thread pull-off resistance) denotes the force that has to be used to pull a weft thread off the roll.

Withdrawal resistance in fishing technology

Bite indicators that are used when fishing have an adjustable trigger resistance, with which the sensitivity of the devices is set.

Withdrawal resistance in weapons technology

In the weaponry of the trigger pull is the force that a shooter must devote to the trigger to move and the shot trigger. The exact value of this force can be determined with special trigger weights. Because the muscles of the forearm are used when pulling the trigger with the index finger, this can result in a slight rotation of the hand, which affects the accuracy of the shot. Therefore, the aim is to achieve the lowest possible trigger resistance for sport and precision rifles. For safety reasons, depending on the application, certain trigger weights must not be undercut. More details are regulated, for example, by the rules of the German Shooting Federation . In forensics , the trigger resistance of weapons is examined in order to obtain information on the course of events.

Withdrawal resistance in case of traps

When pulling the trigger, the trigger resistance is adjusted to the respective bait of the trap. With marten iron, the trigger resistance and trigger weight are set to a chicken egg. This type of trap is known internationally - it is hardly ever used in Germany.
