New 700-page technical pocket guide from Schaeffler

Schaeffler has published a 700-page Technical Pocket Guide that is available free-of-charge in either printed hard copy format or as an Apple/Android software App. The Pocket Guide is a technical reference book for mechanical engineers, apprentices and students across numerous technical and scientific disciplines. Practical and easy-to-use, the Guide is intended as an educational tool that becomes a trusted companion for many people in their day-to-day work. The Guide covers a variety of technical subjects including units of measurement, mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, acoustics, hydraulics & pneumatics, mechatronics, tolerances & fits, construction materials and components. The chapter on 'Design Elements' includes a comprehensive section on linear rolling element guidance systems. This section includes useful information for machine designers on the most common types of linear guidance system (i.e. flat cage, monorail, shaft, miniature and track roller), as well as a section on driven linear units (i.e. linear drives, linear actuators and linear X-Y tables). The Guide bridges the gap between a comprehensive textbook and purely tabular data. The book comprises 14 colour-coded chapters for easy navigation, as well as numerous diagrams, drawings, well-structured texts, tables and formulae. In addition to the content of the printed version, the mobile software App also includes useful 'search' and 'bookmark' functions, as well as information about Schaeffler. A sharing function enables specific text passages to be shared via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
