Telecoping
Telecoping is a structural design concept that involves the extension or telescoping of components, allowing for adjustable length or reach. This principle is commonly utilized in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing to create versatile and space-efficient solutions. The core mechanism of telecoping relies on nested or sliding segments that can extend or retract as needed, often facilitated by guides, rails, or other sliding elements.
The concept of telecoping has a long history, with applications dating back to early mechanical devices such
Materials used in telecoping components are typically lightweight yet durable, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or
Telecoping offers several advantages, including adjustable length, improved portability, and space-saving configurations. However, it also presents
