Flexible Couplings Their Design, Selection and Use

FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS is a reference book that provides a wealth of information for almost everybody that deals with machinery: from the engineer that designs them, the plant engineer that selects them, & for the maintenance personnel that installs, maintains, & must prevent machinery failures. The book fills a void, as the subject of flexible couplings is only briefly discussed in most engineering handbooks & college textbooks. Flexible couplings represent a major expenditure in parts replacement & maintenance downtime. Couplinlg failures can be spectacular, always represent a large cost &, unfortunately, COUPLINGS FAILURES HAVE SOMETIMES RESULTED IN LOSS OF LIMBS & LIFE. The major parts of the book are: * Description of major types of couplings, including advantages & disadvantages * Calculations * Machinery vibrations as influenced by couplings * selection of couplings based on need & characteristics * Installation & removal procedures * Maintenance for long service life, & * Failure analysis & prevention. The author is a world-renowned expert, who has extensive experience in coupling development, maintenance, & failure analysis. Order directly from CAROLINE PUBLISHING, P.O.
