"This practical handbook is an ideal shelf reference for those working in mechanical design across a variety of industries. It provides fundamental equations and understanding of commonly used machine element designs and provides many practical tips for a successful design. It would be a handy book to have if you do any sort of mechanical design work that inovlves the components listed in the book." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

Mechanical Design Engineering Handbook, Second Edition, is a straight-talking and forward-thinking reference covering the design, specification, selection, use and integration of the machine elements that are fundamental to a wide range of engineering applications. This updated edition includes new material on tolerancing, alternative approaches to design, and robotics, as well as references to the latest ISO and US engineering regulations. Sections cover bearings, shafts, gears, seals, belts and chains, clutches and brakes, springs, fasteners, pneumatics and hydraulics, amongst other core mechanical elements. This practical handbook is an ideal shelf reference for those working in mechanical design across a variety of industries.
