Details of Machine Tool Design (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Mastering the design process with practical formulas, charts, and tables. This nonfiction guide shows how to systematize machine tool design using fundamental and empirical formulas. It explains how to choose sizes, weights, and costs, and how to derive reliable results from tentative methods. Readers will see how differences and charting help predict dimensions, weights, and materials across a line of machines, from a small engine to larger sizes.

Accessible and concrete, the book frames design as a balanced mix of math, judgment, and practical testing. It covers when to rely on mathematical reasoning, when to use trial methods, and how to interpret lines and poles in empirical formulas. The text also discusses common gear layouts, tumbler gear design, and how to locate lines of pressure to optimize performance and reduce crowding in gears. Additional chapters address the practical faults of iron castings and how to avoid blow-holes and moisture-related defects.
