Practicing engineers, managers, and students deal regularly with the selection, maintenance, and failure of gears. For these individuals, knowledge of the basics of gears and gearing is essential. This is a comprehensive reference that responds to those needs, covering the fundamentals of gear manufacture, gear type selection, maintenance, and failures. It is a valuable reference source for practicing engineers who do not design or specify gears daily but who have gear requirements. It is useful for business people who must deal with geared machinery. It focuses less on theory and unwieldy technical explanations than on practical, applications-orientated processes, a quality which makes this book appropriate for the practicing engineer and the students alike. Some of its topics include industrial open gearing, automotive gearing, aircraft gearing and enclosed gear drives.
