An actuator is something that converts energy into motion. It can also be used to apply a force. An actuator typically is a mechanical device that takes energy, usually created by air, electricity, or liquid, and converts that into some kind of motion. That motion can be anything from blocking to clamping to ejecting. Actuators are typically used in manufacturing or industrial applications and may be used in things like motors, pumps, switches, and valves

A variable speed drive can reduce energy consumption by as much as 60%.This is because the variable speed drive reduces the amount of energy drawn by the motor.

Belts, made of loops of flexible material, are used in conjunction with pulleys to create belt drives, allowing the transfer of rotary motion from one shaft to another.

Brakes are mechanical devices that slow or stop the motion of other components.

Chain drive is a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another.

A clutch is a mechanism for transmitting rotation, which can be engaged and disengaged.

Controls is an electric and electronic components used to control the speed and operation of motors and other power transmission equipment.

A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power.

Gear drives is a Mechanical devices whose function is to alter the speed, torque and/or direction of rotating shafts. Speed reducers, gearboxes, etc.

Hydraulic Power is a mechanical components that use fluid power to perform work.

Linear motion is the most basic of all motions

Motor is a device that creates motion, an engine; it usually refers to either an electrical motor or an internal combustion engine.

A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument.
