Rotary Power Transmission Design [Paperback]

Ken Hurst (Editor)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0077078527 | ISBN-13: 978-0077078522 | Publication Date: February 14, 1995

Covers the clear design of all types of power transmission systems, including the selection and design of components, sub and complete systems. Rather than concentrate on theory, each chapter addresses the practical procedure of a particular design area on its own, using accesible flow charts and diagrams. The inclusion of manufacturer guidance on the selection of stock items further enhances the text. This expert compilation should enable designers to avoid errors, save time and define requirements more precisely. In addition, relevant sources are provided and references to UK and European standards are made throughout.

This review is from: Rotary Power Transmission Design (Paperback)

I reviewed this as a possible text for a Machine Design course in a Mechanical Engineering Technology Associate's degree program. It is a nice, readable book with lots of useful information, is very concise (only 158 pages) with some coverage of electric motors and the goals of the design process. Most tables, charts and sketches are clear and useful. On the minus side, there are no mention of US customary units, and very light treatment of mathematical theory. It won't work for my course, but would be a useful overview for the engineer who occasionally specifies mechanical components.
