Conveyor. A device designed exclusively for
transporting bulk materials, packages or objects in a predetermined path and

or lubrication.
Flywheel sometimes referred to as a balance wheel or
flywheel pulley means a heavy wheel which by its inertia provides uniform

covers or casing guards, trough or "U" guards, shield guards, standard railings
or by the nature of the location where permitted in these orders, so as to
remove the hazard of accidental contact.
Guarded by Location. The moving parts are so located by
their remoteness from floor, platform, walkway, or other working level, or by
their location with reference to frame, foundation or structure as to remove
the likelihood of accidental contact.
Machine. The driven unit as distinguished from the
driving unit which is defined as a prime mover.

Momentary Contact Device. A device which requires

Nip-point. That location along the inrunning side(s) of
rotating part(s) which permits a part of the body to be caught between two
moving part(s) or between a moving part and a stationary object.
Power Drive, Portable. A device used to provide rotary
motion which can be used to grip and rotate a pipe or die head to thread, cut
and ream.
Prime Mover. An engine or motor whose main function is
to drive or operate other mechanical equipment.
Sheaves. Grooved pulleys, unless used as
flywheels.
Tail Rod. The extension of piston rod passing through a
