Product Description
2,501 mechanisms and mechanical devices – at your fingertips!

A one-of-a-kind pictorial directory, Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook, Third Edition, gives you drawings and descriptions of time-tested components, mechanisms, and devices. A carefully compiled index lets you quickly find a specific component which may very well be the exact problem-solving answer you’ve been seeking. You can count on this guide to help you:


* Recycle successful mechanical inventions into new products, with or without modifications
* Design basic mechanisms from scratch with a chapter of tutorial text and formulas
* Save time researching patents
* Get a refresher on the design and function of bearings, belts, brakes, clutches, couplings, cranks, feeders, gears, genevas, joints, latches, linkages, pumps, screws, springs, and switches
Stay on top of present and future trends in mechanical engineering and machine design, with up-to-date treatments of motion control systems; 2D and 3D CAD software; industrial robots and rapid prototyping (RP) systems; recent research and spinoffs of MEMS technology

From the Back Cover
The only reference of its kind, this sourcebook contains drawings and descriptions of more than 2000 different mechanisms and mechanical devices that have proven themselves in modern products, machines, and systems. This encyclopedic guide offers:
*An extensive pictorial directory of time-tested components, mechanisms, and devices that have applications in new designs and modifications
*Illustrated technical articles summarizing important, expanding fields in mechanical, electromechanical, and mechatronic design and engineering
*A source of historical information about mechanical components and devices that have participated in design solutions in the past and can be recycled for new designs, or will offer ideas that will inspire original concepts

Whatever mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic device, product, or system you are designing or improving—motion-control components, appliances, machine tools, or spacecraft—you will find relevant illustrations and text in this book. Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook is a must addition to your personal technical library.


*Provides an introduction to or refresher on the design and function of classical mechanical elements including bearings, belts, brakes, clutches, couplings, cranks, feeders, gears, genevas, joints, latches, linkages, pumps, screws, springs, and switches
*Key equations and charts for designing mechanisms
*Features a complete index, making it easy to find references to specific components, devices, mechanisms, and systems
