New textbook resource for synchronous belt technology

Based on over 60 years of combined professional experience and with 269 pages and 237 illustrations, the hardcover book is a complete resource on all matters related to synchronous belt technology. Detailed chapters cover brand-neutral synchronous belt profile geometries and specifications, manufacturing process and materials, with application and sizing-related chapters for drive systems, linear motion and product transport systems. An extensive bibliography will guide readers to various manufacturers through their websites, while further chapters deal with timing belt failure and drive design. A comprehensive subject index and glossary information sections are also included.

The book addresses both the needs of application engineers and system integrators working in design, development and machine-building, as well as providing comprehensive textbook material for students at universities and vocational schools.
