OR

ENGINE?

MOTOR OR ENGINEMotor: - A machine that directly converts energy into useful mechanical power.

i.e. electrical or fluid (hydraulic, pneumatic) motor.

Engine: - A machine that converts energy from its original form and through combustion, changes it into hot expanding gases that produces mechanical power.

i.e. gasoline energy changed gasoline into heat energy.

MOTION CONTROL

Motion Control is the distribution and control of energy that has been converted

from its original state into either mechanical, fluid (hydraulic, pneumatic), or

electrical energy to do useful work.
