What are the advantages and characteristics of articulated joints?
Articulated joint is a commonly used mechanical connector, widely used in construction engineering and mechanical manufacturing. Its main functions and advantages are as follows:
Connection and Support: Articulated joints can connect two or more structural components together and provide stable support at different angles and directions. This connection method allows the components to remain stable in various complex working environments, improving the overall stability of the structure.
Large rotation angle and flexibility: Articulated joints have great flexibility in rotation angle and direction, and can adapt to various terrain conditions and installation requirements. This makes it one of the ideal connectors in construction engineering and mechanical manufacturing.
Easy to use: The structure of articulated joints is relatively simple, and the installation and disassembly process is convenient and fast, without the need for special tools or skills. This greatly saves installation time and costs, and improves work efficiency.

High reliability: Articulated joints have high reliability and can withstand heavy loads in both horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring the stability and reliability of pipeline systems or mechanical structures.
Strong adaptability: Articulated joints can be customized into different shapes and lengths to adapt to various application scenarios. Both construction engineering and mechanical manufacturing can meet specific connection requirements by adjusting the size and shape of joints.
Corrosion resistance: Articulated joints can withstand high temperatures, high pressures, corrosive media, and other environmental influences, and have a long service life. This allows it to maintain stable performance even in harsh working environments.
However, articulated joints also have some shortcomings, such as the wear of the hinge shaft and cap due to the hinge connection between multiple connecting plates, which can lead to unstable connections and require regular maintenance and replacement. Therefore, when using articulated joints, attention should be paid to their maintenance and upkeep to ensure their normal operation and reliable connection.
