About This Book

A practical handbook offers step-by-step guidance for installation, alignment, maintenance and repair of shafts, pulleys, belting and rope transmissions. It compiles methods for truing and lining line shafting, apparatus for leveling, techniques for loosening stuck pulleys, and procedures for splicing and caring for leather belts and transmission ropes. Comparative test results for several belt dressings, discussion of belt creep, ordering and selection advice for rope drives, and charts and illustrated tips support troubleshooting and shop practice. Emphasis is on accessible, workshop-proven solutions and safety-minded adjustments that help operators prevent common failures and extend service life.
