Mechanisms
Gears 
-
Applications: Used in machinery, automobiles, clocks, and various mechanical systems for speed reduction, torque multiplication, and direction change.
Levers
-
Applications: Widely used in tools, machines, and human anatomy. Examples include seesaws, crowbars, and the human forearm.
Linkages
-
Applications: Found in various mechanical devices, including engines, robots, and folding mechanisms. The four-bar linkage is a common example.
Pulleys
Description: Pulleys consist of a wheel with a grooved rim and a rope or belt that runs along the groove.
Applications: Used to transmit motion and force, commonly employed in lifting systems, conveyor belts, and some types of engines.
Cam and follower
Description: A cam is a rotating or sliding piece that imparts motion to a follower, which is typically a lever or rod.
Applications: Used in engines, machines, and manufacturing processes for controlled and specific motion.
Screws
Description: Screws are inclined planes wrapped around a cylindrical shaft, converting rotational motion into linear motion.
Applications: Ubiquitous in fasteners, jacks, and various mechanical devices for lifting, securing, and positioning.
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
-
Applications: Commonly found in heavy machinery, industrial equipment, and automotive systems for lifting, pressing, and moving.
Rack and Pinion
Description: A rack is a linear gear, and a pinion is a small gear that engages with the rack to convert rotational motion into linear motion.
Applications: Used in steering systems, linear actuators, and some types of machinery.
Clutches and brakes
-
Applications: Commonly found in vehicles, machinery, and industrial equipment for controlling speed and stopping motion.
