Machinery's Handbook 29th Edition ... Now Available!

Provided By Industrial Press Inc.

Industrial Press Inc., publishers of technical and educational references since 1883, is proud to announce the release of the 29^th edition of Machinery’s Handbook, the most popular reference work in metalworking, design, engineering and manufacturing facilities, and in technical schools and colleges throughout the world for nearly 100 years.           

Machinery's Handbook is universally acknowledged as an extraordinarily authoritative, comprehensive, and practical tool, providing its users with the most fundamental and essential aspects of sophisticated manufacturing practice. The 29th edition of the “Bible of the Metalworking Industries” contains major revisions of existing content, as well as new material on a variety of topics. It is the essential reference for Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Industrial Engineers, Designers, Draftsmen, Toolmakers, Machinists, Engineering and Technology Students, and the serious Home Hobbyist.

The following features set the 29^th edition apart from its predecessor:

·         New to this edition … micromachining,  expanded material on calculation of hole coor­dinates, an introduction to metrology, further contributions to the sheet metal and presses section, shaft alignment, taps and tapping, helical coil screw thread inserts, solid geometry, distinguishing between bolts and screws, statistics, calculating thread dimensions, keys and keyways, miniature screws, metric screw threads, and fluid mechanics.

·         Numerous major sections have been extensively reworked and renovated throughout, including Mathematics, Mechanics and Strength of Materials, Properties of Materials, Dimension­ing, Gaging and Measuring, Machining Operations, Manufacturing Process, Fasteners, Threads and Threading, and Machine Elements.

·         The metric content has been greatly expanded. Throughout the book, wherever practical, metric units are shown adjacent to the U.S. cus­tomary units in the text. Many formulas are now presented with equivalent metric expres­sions, and additional metric examples have been added.

·          The detailed tables of contents located at the beginning of each section have been expanded and fine-tuned to make finding topics easier and faster.

·         The entire text of this edition, including all the tables and equations, has been reset, and a great many of the figures have been redrawn. The page count has increased by nearly 100 pages, to 2,800 pages.

·         Updated Standards.

A larger-print edition and a CD-ROM version (providing an interactive mathematics web-based service, allowing for real-time engineering formulae calculations) are also available, as well as two brief companion publications: the Guide, to help readers in the usage of the Handbook, and the Pocket Companion to provide essential data and quick references for the reader not having ready access to the Machinery’s Handbook.

Helps Designers Work Faster and Smarter!

Provided By Industrial Press Inc.

Written by a working mechanical designer with nearly 20 years experience, this practical on-the-job reference is packed with essential charts and tables, such as fastener data, locating feature data, material selection guides, and component selection charts, thereby enabling you to save time in the selection, sizing, and tolerancing of mechanical parts and assemblies. The reader will also find concise best practices for mechanical design combined with essential charts and tables. It is intended to complement the software programs and technical website links machine designers most commonly rely on and use them more efficiently. Both U.S. and metric units are used extensively, and metric hardware is well represented throughout. Additionally, Machine Designers Reference will also be useful to M.E. students and recent graduates looking to advance their careers in design. It complements, with little overlap, the coverage of the standard textbooks in the field and serves as a bridge between the academic curriculum and practical design requirements.  

Distinctive Features

·         Presents design data in groups corresponding to these design activities to minimize time spent flipping pages.

·         Speeds up the selection process through contained formulas and guides that are designed to assist the working engineer while selecting machine components from catalogs rather than designing these common components from scratch.

·         The full-size format is ideal for reading charts easily, and an included sheet of page tab stickers allows the user to mark pages they find particularly useful. 

·         Intended to be a quick guidebook but contains frequent references to specific entries in Machinery’s Handbook for in-depth treatment of most subjects.
