Mechanical Components

A mechanical component, or “simple machine,” transfers energy from one source to another through physical means. It simplifies tasks.

Examples of Mechanical Components:

  1. Lever
  2. Wedge
  3. Pulley
  4. Wheel and axle
  5. Screw
  6. Inclined plane

Each mechanism transfers energy using different sources with varying efficiency. Mechanical devices are commonly used in machine steps.
