As a leading
supplier of gearmotors,
Bonfiglioli commissioned four experts
of international repute to write
this handbook on power transmission.
The publication covers a range
of topics including the
history of power transmission,
mathematical and
mechanical formulae,
advanced design tools and production
process quality control.
The handbook is
essential reading for anyone interested
in power transmission technology,
from university students to sector
professionals.
The manual is divided into five
parts.
In part 1, Darle W.
Dudley provides a historical overview of
developments in power transmission
technology spanning four millennia.
In part 2, Jacques
Sprengers introduces the latest theories
in mechanical engineering. Part 3 is
dedicated to a thorough treatment of
gears and gearboxes, from sophisticated
theories to the practical development of
ring gears, shafts, casings, bearings,
etc.. Part 4, edited by Dierc Scröder,
focuses on all forms of electric
machines.
The last part of the handbook,
written by Haijme Yamashina, describes
the reliability standards imposed by
Bonfiglioli and the quality control
system created to maintain those
standards
