Features: The fourth edition of Mechanical Design Handbook is divided into 5 volumes, covering all aspects of conventional mechanical design. Volume 1 includes general design data, mechanical drawing, limits and fits, surface roughness, materials, and mechanisms. Volume 2 includes connections and fasteners, shafts and connections, bearings, lifting and transport machinery components, operating parts, small hardware, and pipes. Volume 3 includes lubrication and sealing, springs, screw drives, friction wheel drives, belt and chain drives, gear drives, and multi-point meshing flexible drives. Volume 4 includes reducers, hydraulic transmission, and hydraulic control. Volume 5 includes pneumatic transmission, control and utilization of mechanical vibration, frame design, common motors, electrical appliances, and electric (hydraulic) push rods.
The fourth edition of Mechanical Design Handbook was compiled based on the successful experience of the previous three editions, considering the usage habits of readers and the new requirements for Mechanical Design Handbook, as well as extensive research. The fourth edition emphasizes practicality, content selection and organization from the perspective of mechanical design technicians; emphasizes accuracy, with data and materials primarily sourced from standards, specifications, or other authoritative references, and design methods, formulas, and parameter selections have been tested through long-term practice. Design examples are derived from engineering practice; reflects advancement, adding many new materials, methods, technologies, and processes suitable for China's conditions, widely collecting new products with advanced levels, and adopting new standards and specifications; demonstrates comprehensiveness, covering all aspects of conventional mechanical design.
The fourth edition maintains the style, features, and quality of the previous three editions, generally reflecting the characteristics of up-to-date information, accurate and reliable data, comprehensive content, and practical and convenient reference. Mechanical Design Handbook can serve as a reference tool for mechanical design personnel and related engineering design technicians, as well as for faculty and students of relevant disciplines in colleges and universities.
