| Couplings and Shaft Alignment is concerned with the various types of flexible coupling which can be used to transmit power between the shafts of rotating machines, and with the alignment of those shafts.
The need for a book such as this was identified by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and its clear objective is to provide positive practice guidance to engineers dealing with shaft couplings for the transmission of power, and concerned with the related problem of shaft alignment.
The
book contains eleven chapters, the first two being concerned with the raison
d’etre of flexible couplings, and the factors to be considered when
making a preliminary selection.
The next five chapters deal in depth with the five major types of
coupling, namely gear couplings, multiple membrane couplings, contour disc
couplings, elastomeric element couplings, and quill shaft couplings.
Chapter 8 discusses alignment, and chapter 9 is concerned with
machine train dynamics.
Methods of mounting couplings onto shafts are dealt with in chapter
10, and the final chapter is concerned with accessories, such as guards and
monitoring equipment.
