=Introduction=
Hinges allow portions of [[:Category:Projects|projects]] to articulate, swivel, or swing.

=Challenges=
Precise alignment if hinges is required for proper function.

=Approaches=
[[Frames]] provide precise alignment and hole placement.  [[Bolts]] provide a pin around which to rotate. [[Axial bearings]], and [[thrust bearings]] facilitate smooth and we'll supported rotation, [[washers]] reduce damage to [[frames]], [[shaft collars]] and [[nuts]] secure assemblies in place.
