swing arm
Rotating mount extension
A swing arm is a hinged mechanical component that pivots from a fixed point, allowing controlled movement in an arc.
In motorcycles, the swing arm connects the rear wheel to the frame, letting the wheel move up and down over bumps while the suspension absorbs impact.
Similar mechanisms appear in record players, desk lamps, and industrial equipment—anywhere something needs to pivot smoothly from a stationary mount.
