Abstract
The invention relates to a load-bearing component () for the fastening, lashing, and/or lifting technology, such as a shackle, a snap hook, a hook, or a ring link. The component () comprises a plastic-metal composite system () which forms at least one load-bearing section () and at least one connection section (). The load-bearing section () serves to fasten and/or suspend a load, for example, by use of a fastening device. The component () can with the aid of the connection section () be attached to an object, for example, to a load or a further component (). In order to design the component () as light as possible while having a high load-bearing capacity, its is according to the invention provided the plastic-metal composite system () comprises a core () made of fiber-plastic composite () extending continuously from the load-bearing section () to the connection section () and comprising at least one outer shell () made of metal material and disposed on the load-bearing section () and/or the connection section (). The outer shell () serves to transfer a force acting from the outside upon the component () across a large surface to core ().
