Most excavators now use hydraulic controls for almost everything except possibly forward and reverse track motion

I think what you mean is Mechatronics. Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control.
In the current state of science and medical technology many great things can be done to help people. Some doctors and scientists have discovered how to merge the human body with mechanical or robotic limbs and devices to help people who are amputees or who have lost limbs in accidents. In the future science and medicine will probably develop new ways to integrate the human body with mechanical and robotic devices to make daily life easier.
From Wikipedia, Mechanical is often used as a general term to distinguish from another class of item. Mechanical may mean:Mechanical engineering, a branch of engineering concerned with the application of physical mechanicsMachine, especially in opposition to an electronic itemMechanical watch, utilizing a non-electric mechanismMechanization, using machine labor instead of human or animal laborAutomation, using machine decisions and processing instead of humanManufactured or artificial, especially in opposition to a biological or natural component
-Directional and control devices -inertial guidance system -stabilizing device -helicopter
Simple machines are basic devices or mechanical powers on which other machines are based (eg, lever, wedge, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane, screw).
The electric motor
An electric motor, such as a starting motor
Control BUSES carries electrical signals that control devices & peripherals in Computers.
Electrical degrees and mechanical degrees in dc motors are related by the equation: Deg(elec) = (Number of Poles/2) *(Deg(mech))
Of course. Many electrical applications involve mechanical devices such as circuit breakers, motors, generators.
Our civilization is heavily based upon mechanical and electrical devices. To understand their use and their maintenance, one must understand chemical and mechanical energy.
Photoelectric cells are devices that generate electrical output that is dependent on the amount of illumination. They are used in various mechanical devices to set off alarms or open doors.
Electromechanics combines the sciences of electromagnetism of electrical engineering and mechanics.Electromechanical devices are those that combine electrical and mechanical parts. These include electric motors, loudspeakers, some fire alarms and mechanical devices powered by them, such as calculators and adding machines; switches, solenoids, relays, crossbar switches and stepping switches.
Energy conversion I would say means converting say thermal energy to mechanical, or mechanical to electrical, or other conversions you can think of. Now some machines do this, like electrical generators, or electric motors which is the same but in reverse. Other machines are just mechanical, like a gearbox for example, mechanical energy in and mechanical energy out. So the word machine is more general, energy conversion devices are a sub-set of machines.
Yes, it is then electromechanical. A simple example would be a relay where a current through a solenoid actuates a moving mechanical core to close/open contacts controlling another circuit. This type of relay used to be very widespread, but now solid state devices have superseded them in many cases.
Mechanical devices mostly symbolize the parts, joints, rigid structures in it... they mostly symbilize the tough mechanical components therefore call as mechanical :)
It is convenient to distribute and is needed to run electronic and electro-mechanical devices. It is also made and used in living organisms.
