Hinges are frequently used on pivoting doors, but also are seen on folding ladders and many other flexible mechanisms such as automobile hoods (bonnets), and even large bridges.

A Belleville washer, also known as a coned-disc spring, conical spring washer, disc spring, Belleville spring or cupped spring washer, is a type of spring shaped like a washer.

is a metal fitting used in mechanical systems to feed lubricants, usually lubricating grease, into a bearing under moderate to high pressure using a grease gun

The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both.

Most ferrules consist of a circular clamp used to hold together and attach fibers, wires, or posts, generally by crimping, swaging, or otherwise deforming the ferrule to permanently tighten it onto the parts that it holds.

It can either function as a safeguard designed to break to protect other parts, or as a conditional operator that will not allow a mechanical device to operate until the correct force is applied.

Commonly keyed components include gears, pulleys, couplings, and washers.

A D-ring may be used at the end of a leather or fabric strap, or may be secured to a surface with a metal or fabric strap; though there are D-rings with a middle body designed to be welded to steel.

Designs that may use gudgeon and pintle connections include hinges, shutters and boat rudders.

A common application is in vehicle suspension systems, where a bushing made of rubber (or, more often, synthetic rubber or polyurethane) separates the faces of two metal objects while allowing a certain amount of movement.

They are used both for their ability to deform under pressure and to provide a hermetic seal that allows movement.

Reduction drives are used in engines of all kinds to increase the amount of torque per revolution of a shaft: the gearbox of any car is a ubiquitous example of a reduction drive.

Machine element or hardware refers to an elementary component of a machine.

Structural building components are specialized structural building products designed, engineered and manufactured under controlled conditions for a specific application.

It is a bulk material handling component.

a group of metal hardware specifically used for protection, decoration, and convenience in buildings

refers to any of the items that are attached to a door or a drawer to enhance its functionality or appearance

A shim is a thin and often tapered or wedged piece of material, used to fill small gaps or spaces between objects.

Bearing balls are special highly spherical and smooth balls, most commonly used in ball bearings, but also used as components in things like freewheel mechanisms.

A pintle is a pin or bolt, usually inserted into a gudgeon, which is used as part of a pivot or hinge.

A mechanical joint is a section of a machine which is used to connect one or more mechanical parts to another.

The shaft collar is a simple, yet important, machine component found in many power transmission applications, most notably motors and gearboxes.
