For undergraduate courses in Industrial Technology, Industrial Mechanics, and Basic Industrial Mechanics. An exceptionally readable training resource designed in a flexible "stand-alone" chapter format, this modern text gives future industrial technicians a solid foundation in basic theory coupled with a practical "hands-on" approach that includes exposure to real-life equipment used in the industry today. Using a direct and straightforward style of writing that has won praise from students and instructors alike, it focuses on the needs of industrial mechanics, technicians and engineers working with industrial mechanical and power transmission products, and integrates safety and troubleshooting components within each chapter to encourage diagnostic skill-building.

Editorial Reviews

Review


"I was very impressed with the addition of the Industrial Measuring Tools in Chapter 1 (Section 1-9). This will help students be able to measure pipe, bushings, bolts, and the thickness of metal, especially shim materials we use while doing coupling alignments. I have been using this book for almost two years and have thoroughly enjoyed using it; the chapters are well written and do not overwhelm the students." — Ben Newby, Middle Georgia Technical College




"A little over two years ago we selected the first edition of the subject text because its content, arrangement, and presentation was exactly what we intended to include. We found no other text that 'fit' nearly so well. This second edition is improved and even better fits our needs." — John H. Rohlfs, Snead State Community College




"I like the presentation of material in the chapters of this book. They are written so the material is understandable and in sufficient depth for the students to grasp a basic understanding of the topics covered." — Robert Tuholski, University of Massachusetts, Lowell

From the Back Cover

An ideal training resource, this modern guide provides users with a solid foundation in the basic principles of industrial mechanics combined with a practical "hands-on" approach that includes exposure to real-life equipment used in the industry today. Well-illustrated and written in a direct and easy-to-follow manner, it focuses on the needs of industrial mechanics, technicians, and engineers working with industrial mechanical and power transmission products, and integrates safety and troubleshooting components within each chapter to encourage diagnostic skill-building. Ties fundamental theories of physics to physical applications and real world mechanics, and provides historical background for most major chapter topics. Supports detailed discussions on specific real-world industrial components with many quality illustrations, and offers thorough coverage of the installation, repair, and troubleshooting of major industrial components. For those working in industrial technology and industrial mechanics who want to enrich and expand their knowledge of the types of mechanical equipment used in the industry.

By

This review is from: Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance (Hardcover)
Possibly a mandatory text for class, all information inside can be found elsewhere in more detail at a better price. Simple explanations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Solid Basics, January 30, 2002
By 
"drcavar" (Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Industrial Mechanics and Maintenance (Hardcover)
Very basic knowledge in this book is presented in the most adequate manner: simple, authoritative, enriched with most common useful tips. Comprises most areas of industrial mechanics' real life. Any mechanical shop could benefit having one copy of this book. Very valuable for novices and very useful even for experienced craftsmen - one allways need to recall either some safety procedure or basic working rules for area in which was not working for a while.
