Product Description
Product Description
Over 2000 drawings make this sourcebook a gold mine of information for learning and innovating in mechanical design
The fourth edition of this unique engineering reference book covers the past, present, and future of mechanisms and mechanical devices. Among the thousands of proven mechanisms illustrated and described are many suitable for recycling into new mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic products and systems. Overviews of robotics, rapid prototyping, MEMS, and nanotechnology will get you up-to-speed on these cutting-edge technologies. Easy-to-read tutorial chapters on the basics of mechanisms and motion control will introduce those subjects to you or refresh your knowledge of them.
- Comprehensive index to speed your search for topics of interest
- Glossaries of terms for gears, cams, mechanisms, and robotics
- New industrial robot specifications and applications
- Mobile robots for exploration, scientific research, and defense

Customer Reviews
It certainly is a source of ideas on how to link things together and there are quite a few schematics showing angles, lengths and suggestions for implementation.
There are many items that are fairly niche, but are interesting if you like mechanical things (like the internal parts of electric motors, conveyor belts, locks, linkages and so on).
You can dip in and out if you fancy just reading about a dozen kinds of chain-driven mechanisms or use it to design (re-use?) something for a particular project.
It's not cheap. The reader feel it is probably overpriced given a lot of the items sourced and re-printed and out of copyright.
