In machine design, there are so many factors to consider when designing the machine because the small amount of machine error leads to a high amount of loss so it is better to take care of some factor when designing the machine.
The list of these factors is given below :
- Cost
- High output and efficiency
- Strength
- Stiffness or rigidity
- Wear resistance
- Lubrication
- Operational safety
- Ease of assembly
- Ease and simplicity of disassembly
- Ease and simplicity of servicing and control
- Lightweight and minimum dimensions
- Reliability
- Durability
- Economy of performance
- Accessibility
- Processability
- Compliance with state standards
- The economy of repairs and maintenance
- Use of standard parts
- Use of easily available materials
- The appearance of the machine
- Number of machines to be built
