Welcome to the Mechanical Systems section of the ENGR Toolkit. Here, you’ll find resources covering key mechanical engineering topics, including gears, motors, pneumatics, belt and chain drives, and bearings.
The goal of this section is to provide a solid foundation in these concepts while highlighting their practical applications in engineering design projects. In addition to background information and design considerations, you’ll find examples of commonly used hardware and components that may be useful for your own projects. We also include additional examples and demonstrations to help you explore these topics beyond the classroom.
