👉 Stays engineering, also known as stay engineering or stay ring engineering, is a specialized field within mechanical engineering that focuses on the design, analysis, and optimization of stays—rigid or semi-rigid components that connect a rotating shaft to a non-rotating part, such as a gear or a bearing. These stays are crucial in various mechanical systems, including engines, transmissions, and machinery where shaft alignment and load distribution are critical. Engineers in stays engineering must consider factors like material properties, geometric tolerances, and dynamic loads to ensure the stays can withstand operational stresses without deformation or failure. The goal is to create stays that maintain precise alignment, minimize wear, and enhance the overall efficiency and longevity of the mechanical system they support.
