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. This book comprehensively introduces the working principles, structures, performance, selection methods and calculations, theoretical foundations and empirical formulas for the design of main components, as well as the basic parameters and main dimensions of some products, according to standardized specifications. To meet the needs of machines developing towards high speed and high power, the content emphasizes dynamics, balancing, testing, installation, and adjustment—topics rarely covered in general manuals. It provides 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 offers more specific methods and detailed data for the rational design and selection of couplings and clutches, aiding 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 relevant fields at universities and colleges for study and reference.
