Industrial Drives: Shaft Joining & Coupling Devices

About

In order for most power machinery to operate, power transmission from a driving shaft to a driven shaft is necessary. This dynamic course not only discusses the principles and applications of shaft joining and coupling, but teaches important troubleshooting strategies and remedies.
