These elements can be combined and assembled to create more complex machinery and mechanical systems. Some common examples of machine elements include: 1. **Bearings**: Allow for smooth rotational or linear motion between moving parts. 2. **Gears**: Transmit torque and rotational motion between shafts at varying speeds and directions.
