CAM Design and Manufacture, 2nd Edition (With Disk)

Presenting the most complete analysis of the field, the second edition of this classic reference unifies scattered information from a variety of sources into a single practical treatment that describes the entire cam manufacturing process form design and materials to finished products and applications.

Special features of the second edition include an IBM PC compatible disk with 6 programs for the analysis and synthesis of cam mechanisms, one program calculating the smallest possible cam for given maximum pressure angles and another calculating dynamic forces and comprehensive stress for a given cam mechanism…..plus the most extensive bibliography on cams available, containing more than 1,800 titles conveniently arranged in ten subject categories to facilitate research on specific topics.
