How to define and match elements for a rotary power transmission system

This is one of the SEED curriculum engineering design guides. SEED (Sharing Experience in Engineering Design) is an organisation of teachers of design in tertiary education.

The purpose of this guide is to draw together the fundamental principles, which should be considered in the design of a rotary power transmission system so that it will perform effectively as an entity. If you are unfamiliar with the design of rotary power transmission systems then review the section on concepts and definitions. The selection of individual system elements e.g. motors, gearboxes etc. is presented in other Guides in this series. The four sections of this guide are: consider the load on the system, match the load to the supply, consider other characteristics of the system components, and find real system elements.
