Hardware info:
Though it is often associated with computer devices, "hardware" is actually a term designating any type of physical component in a technological system. These components can come in the form of tools, equipment, or connective material holding a machine together. For example, latches, keys, and gears are all types of hardware, regardless of whether they are used in a mainframe or a doorframe. In addition, hardware may be constructed from a variety of materials, including metal or plastic. Hardware is also commonly used to connote military apparatuses, such as tanks, aircrafts, and missiles.
As technology develops, so does its nomenclature. While initially signifying the metal hinges and fittings used to assemble a wooden machine, hardware has evolved to include printed circuit boards, microprocessors, and LED interfaces. In industrial production, hardware also refers to basic but necessary items such as gaskets, lugs, knobs, chains, spacers, seals, and locks.

Torque Tensioning
It is important to determine proper torque tensioning preload rates for different bolts and materials. Figuring it out can be difficult, but there are standards used across the industrial spectrum.

Types of Plain Bearings (Bushings) - A ThomasNet Buying Guide
Plain Bearings (Bushings) are mechanical elements used to reduce friction between rotating shafts and stationary support members. Typically, a bushing relies on soft metal or plastic and an oil film to support the rotating shaft on the hardened shaft journal.

Types of Shaft Couplings - A ThomasNet Buying Guide
Shaft Couplings are mechanical devices used to connect rotating shafts and absorb misalignments between them. Couplings can be rigid or flexible depending on the alignment accuracies of the system and torque requirements.
