a) Machine and Mechanism
| Machine | Mechanism | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | It transmits or modifies the available energy into some kind of desired work. | It only transmits or modify motion. |
| 2 | The machine is constructed or built on the skeleton of mechanism considering strength requirement for desired application. | It is a skeleton for any machine which is designed for getting the required motion. |
| 3 | The dimensions and shape are very important parameter. | The dimensions of link are not so important parameter while constructing mechanism. |
| 4 | e.g. Steam engine, reciprocating pump. | e.g. slider crank mechanism, pump mechanism. |
