Montagemechanisme

Montagemechanisme is a mechanical system that enables the mounting, fixation, or rapid interchange of components within a larger assembly. It covers devices that provide secure retention, precise alignment, and reversible attachment, facilitating assembly, maintenance, or interchangeability. Common forms include clamps and quick-release mechanisms, magnetic mounts, dovetail slides, hinges, threaded fasteners, and snap-fit joints.

The function of a montagemechanisme is to create a defined interface between parts. Key characteristics include repeatable positioning, sufficient clamping or locking force, and minimal play. Designs consider load paths, operating environment, tolerances, wear, and ease of manufacture and maintenance. Materials range from steel and aluminum to engineering polymers, chosen for strength, weight, and corrosion resistance.

Applications span manufacturing fixtures, machine tools, consumer electronics enclosures, automotive and aerospace assemblies, and photography or audiovisual equipment. Examples include a quick-release camera plate that attaches to a tripod head, a VESA display mount, a tilting wall mount for televisions, and a tool-holder clamp on a machine table.
