👉 Clearance engineering is a critical aspect of mechanical design and manufacturing, focusing on ensuring that components within a system have sufficient space to operate without interference or obstruction. This involves calculating and optimizing the dimensions of parts, such as gears, shafts, and bearings, to maintain proper clearance for smooth operation, efficient heat dissipation, and ease of maintenance. It also addresses challenges related to thermal expansion, vibration, and wear, ensuring that components can withstand operational stresses while maintaining performance and longevity. Effective clearance engineering balances these factors to enhance system reliability, reduce the risk of mechanical failures, and optimize overall performance.
