1、Part 2: Machine Elements and Mechanisms2.1 Introduction Machine elementsMachine elements refer to an elementary component of a machine. They include: structural components such as bearings, axles, keys, fasteners, seals, and lubricants.Mechanisms such as gear trains, belt or chain drives, linkages,

2、cam and follower systems, including brakes and clutchesControl components such as buttons, switches, indicators, sensors, actuators and computer controllers. Machine elements are basic mechanical parts and features used as the building blocks of most machines.Figure 2.1 Machine elements are the buil
