Chapter 10

In this chapter we start with an investigation into power transmission between machines using belt drives, clutches and gear trains. We then turn our attention to the dynamics of rotating systems, looking particularly at static and dynamic balancing, flywheel dynamics and, finally, at the coupling of these components into rotational systems.

So, for example, the torque created by an electric motor may be converted into mechanical work by coupling the motor output to a gearbox, chain or belt drive. Motor vehicle transmission systems convert the torque from the engine into the torque at the wheels via a clutch, gearbox and drive shafts. The clutch is used to engage and disengage the drive from the engine ...
