It's a tension bar. I did not peruse the internet, never had to leave PP to figure it out. Can you guess how?

Looked like an overhead roller pin for a sliding crane often found in industrial shops to me.

I suggested it looks like a shear pin which is typically designed to limit torque to prevent overload damage. The necked down portion is supposed to shear off at a specified load to prevent other components from breaking. An intentionally built in weak link that's easy to replace. Still awaiting verification to see if that is what it is ............ |
