kallutatav

Kallutatav is an Estonian adjective meaning capable of being tilted or adjustable by tilting. The word is derived from the verb kallutada (to tilt) with the participial suffix -tav, which marks a property or feature. In technical and design contexts, kallutatav describes components or devices whose orientation can be changed from a fixed position.

In practice, kallutatav refers to mechanisms that allow angular adjustment. Common examples include monitor arms that tilt to optimize viewing angle, adjustable computer stands, and tiltable displays or panels. Kallutatav features typically rely on a pivot or hinge, and may use assistive elements such as gas springs, torsion springs, or locking screws to secure a chosen angle. The specification usually notes the tilt range in degrees and any safety or locking requirements.

Kallutatav is widely used across industries such as furniture design, audiovisual equipment, photography and video mounts, and medical or ergonomic furniture. It helps distinguish adjustable components from fixed ones and informs assembly, usability, and ergonomics. Related terms in Estonian include kallutatus (the act or state of tilting) and kallutamine (the act of tilting), while a noun form describing the capability is kallutatavus.

Overall, kallutatav denotes a practical design attribute that enables users to vary orientation for comfort, visibility, or functionality. Specifications and manuals often specify the tilt range, locking mechanisms, and any safety considerations to ensure stable and secure adjustment.
