Mechanical power transmission refers to products used in systems with moving parts as opposed to systems powered electrically. These products include shaft couplings, chains and sprockets, belts and sheaves, and drive components.

Belts, such as v-belts and synchronous drive belts, are used in a variety of applications and work in conjunction with pulleys and sheaves. These products reduce slippage and are commonly used in manufacturing, HVAC, and agricultural industries. Shaft couplings join two shafts together and are available in two main types: flexible shaft couplings and rigid shaft couplings. Drive components include clutches, breaks, gears, and variable speed motor drives.

Linear motion is motion that occurs in a straight line. Ball bushings are used on shafts and reduce friction in both axial and linear motions. Ball bushings can be self-aligning and offer good wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction. Pillow block bearings, also known as plummer blocks, are bearings encased in a housing designed to offer support to rotating shafts.

Pneumatics are machines designed to operate through gas or compressed air power. Pneumatics cover a wide range of applications, most commonly in the form of power tools, air brakes in motor vehicles, and other devices like compressors. Used across a broad spectrum of industries, pneumatics are often preferred because of their relative ease of use and low cost.

Common types of pneumatic products include compressed air cylinders, available in standard and miniature sizes for varying applications, and directional control valves, which control the flow of compressed air. Directional control valves are also found in hydraulic systems and are commonly available in two-way, three-way, and four-way designs. Many types of pneumatic accessories are necessary to support pneumatic systems, with tubes and fittings essential pneumatic accessories.

Bathroom supplies like soap, dispensers, and paper products ensure facilities are sanitary and organized. Also find an array of office and breakroom supplies like pens, easels, and office technology

Bearings reduce friction between two objects, which allows moving parts to run smoother. Bearings are divided into two main categories: thrust bearings and radial bearings. Thrust bearings support axial loads, which are parallel to the axis of rotation, while radial bearings support turning shafts perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

Depending on the application, there is a wide range of bearings to choose from. Common types of bearings include ball bearings, split bearings, and roller bearings. Bearings are also available in mounted, unmounted, and flange styles. Ball bearings are the most common type of bearing and are used in applications requiring support of smaller loads. Split bearings are ideal for hard-to-reach places and quick installation while roller bearings are suitable for heavier loads. Roller bearings are generally available in three styles: tapered roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and spherical roller bearings. Key elements to consider when selecting bearings are outer diameter and the shaft diameter the bearing will fit.

Cutting tools, also referred to as cutters, are tools designed to remove workpiece material?typically metal?using one or more cutting edges. They are either single-point tools, such as turning and boring tools, or multi-point tools, like end mills and drill bits. As the name suggests, single-point tools have one cutting edge, or chip-producing element. These tools are commonly used in lathes to perform planing and shaping operations. Tool bits are examples of single-point tools. Multi-point tools have more than one cutting edge. These tools are used in holemaking and milling operations.

Tool geometry and cutter material are arguably the most important features of cutting tools and should be considered based on the tool?s specific task and the material being cut. The tool?s cutting edge must be harder than the workpiece material, it should be able to reasonably withstand high temperatures, and it should have an acceptable level of wear resistance. These three factors should be considered in order to achieve maximum productivity, extended tool life, and monetary savings. High speed steel is a standard cutter material because of its relative low cost in addition to toughness and hardness factors.

Other important characteristics of cutting tools are the number and design of the tool?s flutes and whether the tool is designed for linear or rotary motion. Linear tools include broaches, while countersinks and counterbores are examples of rotary cutting tools.

As the name suggests, hand tools are operated by hand and don?t require electric power. These tools are ideal for low-production fastening, positioning, finishing, and driving applications and can easily be transported to jobsites. Common examples of hand tools include screwdrivers, clamps, knives, hammers, and wrenches.

Power tools require electricity to operate. These tools are used in more heavy-duty applications where speed is a priority, or when working with larger workpieces. Common examples of power tools include power saws, nail guns, power sanders and routers, power drills, and hammer drills.
