mechanical systems
Moving part assemblies
Mechanical systems are assemblages of physical components—gears, levers, pulleys, engines, pumps—that work together to transmit force or motion.
The term appears in engineering, building maintenance, and automotive contexts: The building's mechanical systems include HVAC and plumbing.
In broader usage, any complex arrangement of moving parts qualifies: the mechanical systems of the human body.
