Aluminum extrusion is a process by which aluminum alloy material is forced through a die with a specific cross-sectional profile. Aluminum extrusion can be likened to squeezing toothpaste from a tube. A powerful ram pushes the aluminum through the die and it emerges from the die opening.

Pipe joints are connections at pipe ends that ensure that two pipe sections can be joined to each other to install a pipeline of any length. Joints give strength to the pipeline because longer pipeline sections tend to bend.

A linear guide is a machine element that utilizes bearings, which were developed for rotary motion, in order to move heavy objects easily in a straight line.

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the transport of heavy or bulky materials.

A ball screw is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction. A threaded shaft provides a helical raceway for ball bearings which act as a precision screw.

Propulsion transmission is the mode of transmitting and controlling propulsion power of a machine. The term transmission properly refers to the whole drivetrain, including clutch, gearbox, prop shaft, differential, and final drive shafts.
