finmekaniska
Finmekaniska, or fine mechanics, is a field within precision engineering that focuses on designing, manufacturing, and assembling mechanical systems with very tight tolerances, high stability, and reliability. It covers components and subassemblies such as gears, springs, pivots, actuators, and metrological devices, as well as micro-scale mechanisms. The term mirrors the German Feinmechanik and is used in Scandinavian engineering contexts to describe high-precision mechanical work.
Key design considerations in finmekaniska include kinematic layout, stiffness, thermal compensation, damping, and repeatability. The discipline
Manufacturing methods commonly used in finmekaniska span both traditional and micro-scale processes. Precision machining such as
Materials chosen for finmekaniska parts include high-grade steels, ceramics, carbide, specialized alloys, and advanced polymers, selected
Applications of finmekaniska are diverse, including horology and precision clocks, optical and photographic instruments, medical devices
