Standard Handbook of Chains by American Chain Association (2005, CD-ROM, Illustrated)

The first edition of Chains for Power Transmission and Material Handling set the standard for the selection of chain drives and conveyors. After twenty years of growth in the chain industry, this landmark reference enters its second edition with extensive updates and revisions, and is now available on a fully searchable CD-ROM, enabling readers to absorb and apply the information quickly. It supplies new information on chain design considerations, increased power ratings for roller chains and silent chains, and selecting drives with alternate lives. It also includes a new chapter on flat top chain conveyors and features individual chapters on chain lubrication, installation, and inspection and maintenance.
