Couplings and Shaft Alignment
Provides positive practical guidance to engineers dealing with shaft couplings for the transmission of power, and concerned with the related problem of shaft alignment. First published in 1991, this useful text has been revised and reprinted in a more readable, updated format. Subject Areas Include: Factors affecting selection of flexible couplings; Gear couplings; Multiple memberane couplings, Contoured disc couplings; Elastomeric element couplings; Quill shaft coupoings; Alignment; Machine train dynamics; Methods of mounting couplings on to shafts; Accessories such as guards and monitoring equipment. The book offers a systematic approach to the selection and specification of shaft couplings, and a rational approach to shaft alignment, which can assist in achieving the desired levels of reliability in process plant. It can be wholeheartedly recommended to all practising engineers involved in the design, specification, selection ,operation, and maintenance of machine systems involving flexible shaft couplings. CONTENTS: An approach to coupling selection; Preliminary choice; Gear couplings; Quill shaft couplings; Alignment; Effect on machine train dynamics; Hub mounting; Accessories; Nomenclature; Coupling data sheet; Bibliography.
