Difference between Mechanism & machine

1 Answer

Answer :

Mechanism
Machine
Primary function is used to transmit or modify the motion.
Primary function is to obtain the mechanical advantage
It is not used to transmit the force.
It is used transmit the force
A mechanism is a single system to transfer the motion
A machine has one or more mechanism to perform the desired function. 
eg.i) In watch, energy stored on winding the spring is used to move hands. ii) An indicator is used to draw P-V diagram of engine
eg. i) Shaper receives mechanical power which is used to suitably convert to do work of cutting the metal. ii) A hoist is machine to lift the loads.
