"Pintle" can refer to a couple of different concepts, primarily in engineering and maritime contexts: 1. **Pintle as a Mechanical Component**: In mechanical terms, a pintle is a type of bearing or pivot mechanism, typically a short shaft or pin that serves as a hinge or pivot point. Pintles are often used in conjunction with a socket or a similar component to allow for rotational movement. They are commonly found in applications such as steering systems, hinges, or rotating machinery.
