pöördetabelile

Pöördetabelile is an Estonian term that translates to "turntable" in English. In its most common usage, it refers to a mechanical device designed for rotating a load or object. This rotation can be used for various purposes, such as positioning components for assembly, allowing vehicles to change direction in tight spaces, or facilitating the playback of recorded sound.

One prominent application of turntables is in the field of audio reproduction. Vintage and modern record players utilize a turntable to spin vinyl records at a consistent speed, allowing a stylus to read the grooves and produce sound. The precision of the turntable's rotation is crucial for accurate audio fidelity.

Another significant use of turntables is in industrial settings and workshops. These heavy-duty devices are employed for tasks like welding, painting, or machining, enabling continuous access to all sides of a workpiece without the need to manually reposition it. In logistics and warehousing, turntables can be found in conveyor systems to change the orientation of goods.

In automotive contexts, a turntable, often referred to as a "traffic turntable" or "revolving platform," serves as a turning mechanism for vehicles. These are particularly useful in areas with limited space, such as underground parking garages, fire stations, or busy intersections, allowing cars to turn around or maneuver without complex multi-point turns. The design and load-bearing capacity vary greatly depending on the specific application.
