Covers the clear design of all types of power transmission systems, including the selection and design of components, sub and complete systems. Rather than concentrate on theory, each chapter addresses the practical procedure of a particular design area on its own, using accesible flow charts and diagrams. The inclusion of manufacturer guidance on the selection of stock items further enhances the text. This expert compilation should enable designers to avoid errors, save time and define requirements more precisely. In addition, relevant sources are provided and references to UK and European standards are made throughout.
