• Final Drive Assembly: A reduction gear system that transfers power from the transmission to the wheels/tracks.
  Example: Caterpillar D8T Final Drive Assembly

• Hydraulic Pump: Converts mechanical power from the engine into hydraulic energy (fluid flow and pressure).
  Example: Komatsu PC200-8 Hydraulic Pump

• Control Valve (Spool Valve): Directs the flow of hydraulic fluid to various actuators in the system.
  Example: John Deere 8320R Scv Control Valve

• Fuel Injector Nozzle: Atomizes fuel and sprays it into the combustion chamber or pre-chamber.
  Example: Cummins ISX Diesel Engine Fuel Injector Nozzle

• Brake Caliper Assembly: Houses the brake pads and pistons to squeeze the rotor, slowing the vehicle.
  Example: Volvo FH16 Heavy Truck Brake Caliper Assembly

• Alternator: Converts mechanical energy into electrical energy to power the vehicle's electrical system and charge the battery.
  Example: Mercedes-Benz Actros Alternator

• Water Pump: Circulates coolant through the engine block and radiator to regulate temperature.
  Example: Ford Focus 1.0L EcoBoost Water Pump
