This unique, single-source volume provides broad coverage of essential information on mechanical power transmission and its components—facilitating decisions on basic design, materials selection, replacement, maintenance, and applications.
Written by leading experts from industry in smooth-flowing, logically organized chapters, Mechanical Power Transmission Components
elucidates various shafting design practices, steady-state and dynamic calculations, material properties, and shaft rigidity
examines couplings, clutches, and brakes, including design equations and parameters, selection, installation, and maintenance
discusses externally lubricated, oil-filled, and self-lubricating plain bearings and explains antifriction bearings
describes static and dynamic types of seals, gaskets, packings, diaphragms, radial lip seals, and mechanical face seals plus their design and installation
illustrates various gears, gear manufacturing, lubrication, failure modes, and defines nomenclature
details chain drives, sprockets, belt drives, sheaves, and their design standards
addresses hydraulic principles, fluids, plumbing connections, oil reservoirs, filters and strainers, cylinders, and directional controls
and much more!
