When medical device manufacturers design precision mechanical devices, friction between moving parts can be difficult to manage. Engineers use medical grade lubricants — oils, greases or dry powders — to smooth the movement of parts that slide, shear, twist or pivot. For example, two pieces of titanium alloy rubbing together have a sliding coefficient of…

“Stacked tolerances” is a term that describes a production problem in the engineering of medical devices when the cumulative effects of allowable variation aggregate towards a single vector or dimension. Normally, variances are expected to “average out” towards a design ideal. However, it is common — especially with injection-molded parts — to see tolerances gradually…
