introduction/capabilities
Modern de velopments in construction technology have focused
on the production of light, sturdy structures. Tension member
braced structures are a ke y part of modern construction and can
be e xpected to further increase in rele vance.
Petersen have been supplying the architectural structures and tensile fabric markets for over 25 years
with high-quality, UK manufactured terminals, tensioners, structural cable systems and tension bar
systems. During this time we have been at the forefront of developing and manufacturing stainless
steel tension member systems.
We have supplied products integral to many prestigious structures around the world. As a manufacturer
Petersenare able to provide custom solutions to projects, adaptation of product with a fast and flexible
approach assured by our ISO9001:2008 and AS9100-C certified quality system. Full traceability and
certification from the steel mill to the construction site is provided as standard. All of our fittings are
manufactured from solid bar ensuring their structural integrity - no welding or casting.

cable systems
cable systems
Structural Cable Systems allow a reduction in diameter from traditional steelwork, minimising
visual impact of supportive structures and maximising light and space within the building.
cable tension members
Cable Tension Members are typically used to span long distances or in applications where the bend in
the cable is used to provide tension to whatever is attached along its length - for example Catenary
Cable Systems, Bow Truss/Bow Strut Glass Supports, Cable Net Structures and Tensile Fabric Structures.
We do all of our manufacturing in-house so we have the ability to design and make specific parts to
project requirements from a wide range of materials; Stainless Steels (including Duplex and PrecipitationHardening), Aluminium Bronze, Nitronic, Aluminium and Titanium. We can provide parts with a wide
range of specialised coatings for specific site conditions including anodizing, PVD, galvanising and
Xylan (Teflon).
Manufacturing takes place at the Petersen Stainless Rigging factory in Blaydon, England where the
Quality Management System is certified by Lloyd’s Register to ISO9001:2008 and to the Aircraft Industry
Standard AS9100 rev C the scope of which covers all activities including design and manufacture.

System C1 swage studs
Can be supplied with either RH threads both ends or LH and RH thread combination depending upon the application. Imperial Unf threads
are also available.
Adjustment range is the maximum range of adjustment. Cable lengths will be calculated with 1/3rd engagement allowing 2/3rd for
shortening the length. E.g. C5-5mm would have approximate adjustment range of +33mm - 66mm.

Compression/swageless terminals can be assembled on site safely and securely without the need for special tools.
Compression terminals are suited to applications where the exact final length are to determine or where the cable is designed to pass
through intermediate steelwork such as balustrade posts or Solar shading screens.

TENSION BAR SYSTEMS
TENSION BAR SYSTEMS are used in lightweight structures where
high stiffness tension members are required.
Our standard 316 Tension Bar systems consist of a threaded stainless steel bar terminated with
SBS-450 fork clevis adjusters at each end which allow a generous amount of adjustment. The
SBS-450 fork clevis ends and double head clevis pins are designed in accordance with BS5950-1:2000,
EN 1993-1-11:2006 and EN 1993-1-8:2005 and are machined - not cast - from a high-strength duplex
stainless steel. The tension bar system is normally supplied with one left hand and one right hand
threaded end. After installation the Tension Bar can be rotated to set the correct length and locked
using tapered lock cover nuts.
316 Tension Bars are manufactured from specially drawn bar-stock with rolled threads. Tension Bar
systems are available in up to 6m single lengths, couplers can be used to span further.
About Nitronic 50 Rod:
The Petersen rod system offers a hybrid solution combining the benefits of stainless steel cable and
solid bar. Size for size rod is stronger than cable and has much lower stretch. The tensile strength of
rod is almost double that of 316 bar allowing for a huge reduction in self-weight and visual impact.
Rod can also be supplied in virtually any length and can be coiled for ease of transport. Rod can
be bent round fixed points on structures such as bow-struts reducing the steelwork required. The
combination of its low-profile and high strength makes rod the lightest and most elegant solution
available for the support of large glazed areas and other modern structures.
In architectural rigging, ‘bar’ is the name given to a solid tendon of 316 stainless which would normally
be terminated by a threaded fork end. ‘Rod’ is the term in rigging used to describe a solid tendon
of high-strength Nitronic 50 alloy stainless steel. This alloy was developed for performance rigging
applications to meet the demands for steel with high tensile strength and better corrosion resistance
than 316.
Rod systems have been installed on a number of notable structures over the past 20 years allowing
architects to create very fine structures which maximise light and space.
Attaching the Fittings:
Petersen rods are terminated by using hydraulic pressure to form a head which sits inside a special
‘seat’ in the fitting. The process of forming the head is called ‘cold heading’ and results in a
termination as strong as the rod itself.
Although the relation of the head and seat geometry must be very tightly controlled we can form
seats in a wide variety of different end fittings making the Petersen rod system the most versatile
in the market.

The System
Tension Bars, also known as Tension Rods, Tie Bars and Tie Rods,
are manufactured in the UK by Petersen.
Tension Bar systems consist of a threaded stainless steel tie terminated with
an SBS-450 fork clevis adjuster at each end. The SBS-450 fork and clevis pins
are designed in accordance with BS5950-1:2000, EN 1993-1-11:2006 and
EN 1993-1-8:2005 and are machined - not cast - from a high-strength duplex
stainless steel.
The SBS-450 fork clevis ends allow a generous amount of adjustment
and are normally supplied in pairs with one left hand and one right hand
threaded end. After installation the Tension Bar can be rotated to set the
correct length and locked into position using tapered lock cover nuts.
316 Tension Bars are manufactured from specially drawn high-tensile
bar-stock with rolled threads. Tension Bar systems are available in up to
6m single lengths and couplers can be used to span further.
