Comprehensive, illustrated guide and reference. Design of all types of gears covered in detail. Systematic presentation for easy use and reference. Gear materials, manufacturing methods and troubleshooting also covered. Hundreds of photos and schematics clearly illustrate designs and uses; almost 200 tables provide reference data
For more than 30 years the book Practical Gear Design, later re-titled Handbook of Practical Gear Design, has been the leading engineering guide and reference on the subject. It is now available again in its most recent edition.
The book is a detailed, practical guide and reference to gear technology. The design of all types of gears is covered, from those for small mechanisms to large industrial applications. The presentation is designed for easy reference for those involved in practical gear design, manufacture, applications and problem solving. The text is well illustrated with clear diagrams and photographs. The many tables provide needed reference data in convenient form.
