Pivots are rotational bearing elements that provide a defined axis of articulation between structural or mechanical members, covering plain and rolling-element pivot pins, trunnions, and pivot blocks manufactured from high-strength aerospace alloys, corrosion-resistant steels, and titanium, with surface treatments such as hard anodising, cadmium plating, or DLC coating applied to meet MIL-SPEC and AS9100 requirements.
