4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Tom, and all the others who have so quickly responded. Sorry to have been vague about the context. The terms come the a brochure on logging equipment (this belated info just for the fair trade!)I found the glossary websites very helpful. Thanks again and greetings from down under. Helga "

It is difficult to say because you are giving little or no context - it always depends on the context which term to use:

Here are some options - you will have to figure out which term fits the context.

Stauraum = stowage, pressure chamber,
air scoop

Kluppe = pliers, holder for dies,
jointing clamp, tongs,
threading die

Streckmetall = expanded metal
Aufleger = lifter, layer,
semi-trailer

Stuetzkurve = stabilizing curve

Betaetigungskraft = operating force
control force

Zopfdurchmesser = top diameter

I am also confused (lack of context), which always makes me curious.

I have found these additional meanings, which make me wonder if road construction is somehow involved:

Stauraum (traffic): waiting space, approach area

Streckmetall (roads): mattress, layer of expanded metal

Stützbogen (architecture): strengthening arch

Stützkurve: strengthening curve?

I hope this helps - and that you will provide some context!

Since your implicit context seems to have something to to with lumber, here are some timber, lumbar, sawmill & logging glossaries on the Web:
