Description

Couplings and Shaft Alignment provides positive practicalguidance to engineers dealing with shaft couplings for thetransmission of power, and concerned with the related problem ofshaft alignment. First published in 1991, this useful text has beenrevised and reprinted in a more readable, updated format.

COMPLETE CONTENTS:

  • An approach to coupling selection
  • Preliminary choice
  • Gear couplings
  • Multiple membrane couplings
  • Contoured disc couplings
  • Elastomeric element couplings
  • Quill shaft couplings
  • Alignment
  • Effect on machine train dynamics
  • Hub mounting
  • Accessories
  • Nomenclature
  • Coupling data sheet
  • Bibliography

The book offers a systematic approach to the selection andspecification of shaft couplings, and a rational approach to shaftalignment, which can assist in achieving the desired levels ofreliability in process plant. It can be wholeheartedly recommendedto all practising engineers involved in the design, specification,selection, operation, and maintenance of machine systems involvingflexible shaft couplings.
