ACTUATOR1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that moves or controls a mechanical part of a piece of equipment. It takes energy usually provided by air, electric current, or liquid and converts the energy into some kind of motion.
AMPLIFIER1.4 Composition composed of an electronic component or circuit that amplifies power, electric current, or voltage.
BALLSCREW1.4 Composition composed of a mechanical structure that transforms rotary motion into linear motion.
BELT1.4 Composition composed of an endless flexible band that transmits motion for a piece of equipment or conveys materials and objects.
BRAKE1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that slows down or stops a moving object by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction, electrical force, or magnetic force.
CHAIN1.4 Composition composed of an interconnected series of objects that band together and transmit motion for a piece of equipment or to convey materials and objects.

FAN1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that produces a current of air.
FILTER1.4 Composition composed of a substance or structure that allows liquids or gases to pass through to remove suspended impurities or to recover solids.
GALVANOMOTOR1.5 Composition composed of an electromechanical actuator that produces deflection of a beam of light or energy in response to electric current through its coil in a magnetic field.
GRIPPER1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that holds a part, stock material, or any other item in place.
HOPPER1.4 Composition composed of a chamber or bin that stores materials temporarily, typically being filled through the top and dispensed through the bottom.
LINEAR_POSITION_FEEDBACK1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that measures linear motion or position.
MOTOR1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that converts electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic energy into mechanical energy.
OIL1.4 Composition composed of a viscous liquid.
POT1.7 Composition composed of a tool storage location associated with a ToolMagazine or AutomaticToolChanger.
POWER_SUPPLY1.4 Composition composed of a unit that provides power to electric mechanisms.
PULLEY1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism or wheel that turns in a frame or block and serves to change the direction of or to transmit force.
PUMP1.4 Composition composed of an apparatus that raises, drives, exhausts, or compresses fluids or gases by means of a piston, plunger, or set of rotating vanes.
REEL1.5 Composition composed of a rotary storage unit for material.
REMOVAL_POT1.7 Pot for a tool to be removed from a ToolMagazine or Turret to a location outside of the piece of equipment.
RETURN_POT1.7 Pot for a tool removed from spindlemechanism that provides rotational capabilities to a piece of equipment. > Note: Typically used for either work holding, materials or cutting tools. or Turret and awaiting for return to a ToolMagazine.
SENSING_ELEMENT1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that provides a signal or measured value.
SPREADER1.5 Composition composed of a mechanism that flattens or spreads materials.
STAGING_POT1.7 Pot for a tool awaiting transfer to a ToolMagazine or Turret from outside of the piece of equipment.
STATION1.7 Composition composed of a storage or mounting location for a tool associated with a Turret, GangToolBar, or ToolRack.
STORAGE_BATTERY1.4 Composition composed of one or more cells that converts chemical energy to electricity and serves as a source of power.
SWITCH1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that turns on or off an electric current or makes or breaks a circuit.
TABLE1.5 Composition composed of a surface that holds an object or material.
TANK1.4 Composition composed of a receptacle or container that holds material.
TENSIONER1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that provides or applies a stretch or strain to another mechanism.
TRANSFER_ARM1.7 Composition composed of a mechanism that physically moves a tool from one location to another.
TRANSFER_POT1.7 Pot for a tool awaiting transfer from a ToolMagazine to spindlemechanism that provides rotational capabilities to a piece of equipment. > Note: Typically used for either work holding, materials or cutting tools. or Turret.
TRANSFORMER1.5 Composition composed of a mechanism that transforms electric energy from a source to a secondary circuit.
VALVE1.4 Composition composed of a mechanism that halts or controls the flow of a liquid, gas, or other material through a passage, pipe, inlet, or outlet.
VAT1.5 Composition composed of a container for liquid or powdered materials.
WATER1.4 Composition composed of a fluid.
WIRE1.4 Composition composed of a string like piece or filament of relatively rigid or flexible material provided in a variety of diameters.
WORKPIECE1.6 Composition composed of an object or material on which a form of work is performed.
