Door het vergrote klemvak van de kop ontstaat er een verhoogde lastopname en zijn er minder bevestigingspunten nodig.'

'load bearing capacity'?

load distribution

Explanation:
A screw cannot physically "absorb" a load. Instead it distributes the load applied to it.

load absorption

Explanation:
I think they mean the force exerted by the load.

See:

"Patented Lag Screw design for high load absorption and easy insertion"

Different context but the same principle, I think.

I never said the screw absorbed anything. But: a high load absorption is created as a result of the increased clamping area because of the type of screw that is being used.
