Resource for designing with Bearings and Gears
For the first time in my career I have been tasked with designing a system to include stepper motors, bearings, gears, and shafts. I was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of a good source that will give me a good overview of these items.
I'm not looking for references for designing gears and bearings (which I've found plenty of), I'm looking for a source with guidance on how to design systems incorporating these items. The system I'm designing will be subjected to low loads and speeds, and so shouldn't be too challenging, but I think a good "101" resource would be very helpful in exposing me to more of the options and practices already available.
I have already found the following links which had a few helpful pieces of information but seemed more applicable to those designing these components, not designing with them.

I'd prefer a book/handbook/textbook however an online source would also be acceptable. I'm imagining a source like "Seals and Sealing Handbook by: Flitney" for those familiar with that publication.
Thanks!
