Features: This book is organized by the Basic Components Branch of the China Heavy Machinery Industry Association, combining the efforts of factories, research institutes, and universities. It is compiled based on the absorption and summary of advanced experiences and technologies from both domestic and international sources. The book comprehensively introduces the working principles, structures, performance, selection methods, and calculation methods for couplings and clutches, as well as the theories and empirical formulas for the design of major components. It also provides standard basic parameters and main dimensions for some products. To meet the needs of machines developing towards high speed and high power, the book emphasizes dynamics, balancing, testing, installation, and adjustment—topics rarely covered in general manuals. It offers in-depth discussions on synchronous and asynchronous universal joints, roller and wedge block overrunning clutches, permanent magnet couplings, ball centrifugal soft-start safety couplings, and hydraulic safety couplings. The book provides more specific methods and detailed data for the rational design and selection of couplings and clutches, aiding in non-standard design, especially in independent development and research. The content is advanced, scientific, and practical, making it suitable for engineering technicians engaged in the design, research, manufacturing, application, and marketing of couplings and clutches. It is also a valuable resource for students and teachers in universities and colleges majoring in related fields for study and reference.
