What is you job description ? Designing rotating machinery ? For sale, or for your company's use.

What operating temperatures ?

Plenty of devils in these details, that the catalog data sometimes fails to emphasize.
Bearings, bearing fits, seals, couplings, balancing flexible and rigid rotors, support structures, grout .

ASHRAE and API have some EXCELLENT references to help design and specify reliable equipment, and avoid some expensive misadventures.

There are several boards on line where vibration analysts share their tales of woes and their victories,

Pick the brains of your senior engineers and ask them what guides/literature is most helpful. Use that as a starting point

As a mid-career engineer who recently got into rotating equipment, I have not found many books that are very helpful...there is so much specialization in different machines for different industries.

What I have found to be very helpful are the design reports, analysis reports, failure reports, etc. that have been produced by others in my department. Also, there are papers and short courses generated for events like the Turbo Show...the other engineers in your company undoubtedly have saved the ones that they find helpful or used at some point.

You can find the Turbo Show proceedings here

So like RVAmeche says, ask the senior engineers.

A lot of manufactures have application engineer formula's and example problems.
Stearns brakes is one the I have downloaded such things from
Also hand book from groups like EASA; Electrical Engineering Pocket Book.
The Machinery Handbook is assume too.
