Features: The "Mechanical Design Handbook" single-volume edition consists of 15 sub-volumes and 22 chapters, covering all aspects of conventional mechanical design. The sub-volumes are: "Common Design Data," "Mechanical Drawing, Limits and Fits," "Common Engineering Materials," "Connections and Fasteners," "Shafts and Connections," "Bearings," "Springs, Hoisting and Transport Parts, Hardware," "Lubrication and Sealing," "Mechanical Transmission," "Reduction (Variable) Speeders, Motors and Electrical Equipment," "Mechanical Vibration and Frame Design," "Mechanisms," "Hydraulic Transmission," "Hydraulic Control," and "Pneumatic Transmission." This book, "Mechanisms," contains 4 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces common methods for mechanism analysis, focusing on the analysis of mechanism degrees of freedom, motion analysis and force analysis of planar mechanisms, and dynamic analysis of single-degree-of-freedom mechanisms. Chapter 2 covers the design of basic mechanisms, including the performance and motion parameters, design calculations, and design examples of planar link mechanisms, instantaneous center mechanisms, mutual envelope mechanisms, cam mechanisms, indexing cam mechanisms, ratchet mechanisms, Geneva mechanisms, incomplete gear mechanisms, pinwheel mechanisms, inclined plane mechanisms, screw mechanisms, and reciprocating oil (gas) cylinder mechanisms. Chapter 3 discusses the analysis and design of composite mechanisms, including cam-link composite mechanisms, gear-link composite mechanisms, cam-gear composite mechanisms, synchronous belt-link composite mechanisms, and differential belt-chain-link composite mechanisms, covering analysis, design calculations, and applications. Chapter 4 presents reference diagrams of mechanisms, showcasing practical applications of various common mechanisms. This book can serve as a reference tool for mechanical design personnel and related engineering technicians, and is also suitable for reference by faculty and students of relevant disciplines in colleges and universities.
