mechanical joint
Where parts pivot
A mechanical joint is a connection between two parts that allows controlled movement or secure attachment without welding or adhesive.
In plumbing, it joins pipes using bolts, gaskets, and compression fittings.
In anatomy and engineering, mechanical joints describe any articulation where rigid components meet: The robot's mechanical joints mimicked human elbow movement.
