Description
For Introductory courses in Industrial Mechanics, Industrial Maintenance, and General Industrial Technology.
This broadly based text addresses a full range of technologies in mechanical maintenance. With this easy-to-understand introduction students will become familiar with technician work relative to manufacturing and service industry equipment outside of the automotive area. Designed for students with little or no previous exposure to general mechanical technology, the text addresses topics ranging from an introduction to machinery and mechanical systems to shop safety, basic rigging, bushings and bearings and interpreting engineering drawings.

Preface
Mechanical Systems for Industrial Maintenance presents abroad coverage of technology that is appropriate for a student who is interested in general machinery and mechanical system repair, maintenance, and restoration, in areas more broad than those specific to automotive repair and servicing. The emphasis throughout is mechanical, although there is a basic coverage of electricity, electrical systems, and electrical measurements.
This text is designed to show potential machinery and mechanical system maintenance technicians the broad range of technical areas that they might encounter in following many possible career paths in the mechanical maintenance field. In this era of fast-paced computer automated manufacturing, efficient maintenance and repair of production line equipment will always be a priority. The modern maintenance technician's knowledge needs to be well rounded in mechanical, electromechanical, electronics, and computer technology disciplines.
It is recommended that the students, in their course of study, are or will become familiar with general machine shop technology. Since this subject encompasses much information and also requires much hands-on skill development, the coverage in this text is introductory and designed to show the potential maintenance technician the general capabilities, setup, and tooling of the drill press, engine lathe, and vertical milling machine. These machine tools are most frequently used in supporting the repair and restoration of machinery and mechanical systems. This text is not designed to teach the many and varied skills and techniques of hands-on machining practices.
All the major topics discussed in this text represent large amounts of technical information, any one of which may be developed into an extensive independent study. Mechanical Systems for Industrial Maintenance is designed to survey these topics and assist students in making decisions to pursue more in-depth studies in specific areas of machinery and mechanical system maintenance, repair, and restoration activities.
The text has a traditional chapter design with stated objectives, followed by a well-illustrated text, lists of key terminology, review questions, suggested activities, exercises, and examples of workplace practice.
