What Is a Machine?

A machine is the totality of mechanisms consisting of various machine elements such as gears, bearings and shafts to convert any type of energy into another energy, to do work or create an effect by utilizing a certain power. Electronic or organic devices without any mechanical parts are also called machines. Machines have been developed to assist or completely replace human or animal power in performing a specific task or fulfilling a physical function.

They cover a wide range of devices from simple machines such as levers, inclined planes and winches to complex systems like a modern automobile. Machines either convert thermal, chemical, nuclear or electrical energy into mechanical energy or perform the reverse process. Modern machines have become much more complex and multifunctional compared to simple machines from the past.

Machine Elements

Machine elements are the basic components that make up machines. These include gears, bearings, shafts, springs, bolts and nuts, seals and many other components. The proper selection and use of machine elements is critical for the efficient and long-lasting operation of machines.
