Basic purpose of mechanical drive is to transmit torque, motion and power from driving shaft (usually a prime mover like an electric motor) to driven shaft, and also to alter the intensity, direction and speed as per the requirement. There exist several mechanical drives to fulfill varying industrial and machinery requirements. Such drives can be classified into two major categories—positive drive and non-positive drive. A positive drive is free from

In many engineering applications, power is required to transmit from one point to another. Various power transmission systems such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc. can fulfill different requirements. Mechanical power transmission systems are used to transmit power, motion and torque from driver shaft (a prime mover such as electrical motor) to the driven shaft. Changing direction, speed and intensity are also important tasks for such transmission systems. There exist
