More Than A Pin: How Small Components Prevent Major Structural Failures

When mechanical systems fail catastrophically, the root cause is often traced back to something surprisingly small. A misaligned component here, a shifted assembly there, and suddenly you’re facing expensive downtime, safety hazards, and emergency repairs. The engineering world has learned that preventing these disasters requires attention to the smallest details, particularly in how components maintain their precise relationships under stress. …
