pivotable
Pivotable is an adjective used to describe a component or mechanism that is capable of pivoting or rotating about a fixed axis. The term combines pivot, the point or axis about which movement occurs, with the suffix -able indicating capability. In engineering and product design, pivotable joints and mounts allow angular displacement between connected parts while preserving connection to a base element.
Common applications include mechanical hinges, turntables, swivels, and camera or lamp mounts. Pivotable joints enable relative
Design considerations for pivotable components include the axis location, range of motion (angular travel), clearance with
Although closely related to rotatable and hinged concepts, pivotable emphasizes the ability to pivot around an
