droparm
DropArm is a generic term used in engineering to describe a hinged or pivoting arm that moves from a raised to a lowered position to release, position, or deposit a component, tool, or payload. The mechanism is typically mounted to a fixed frame and can be actuated by a release device that is manual, spring-loaded, hydraulic, or pneumatic. In some implementations the arm drops under gravity after the latch is released, while in others it is actively driven to a controlled descent.
Design and operation considerations for DropArm devices include load capacity, movement stroke, descent speed, repeatability, and
Applications of DropArm mechanisms span several industries. In manufacturing and automation, they are used to deposit
Note that DropArm may also be used as a brand name or model designation in specific product
