Drive shafts
Drive shafts are used to transmit power between spaced apart drive train units. Most often they are used on cars with a classic design layout for connection …
Automatic continuously variable gearboxes
As a rule, hydrodynamic transmissions are used in motor vehicles as continuously variable gearboxes. As in the case of a torque converter, a rotating fluid is the driving force …
Gearbox control
Outer part of the steering mechanism, outside the gearbox, it engages the gearshift lever with the shaft of the internal part of the control mechanism protruding beyond the gearbox housing. Outer part …
Two-shaft gearboxes
In block drive systems, in which the gearbox is located close to the main transmission, two-shaft gearboxes are used. The torque is transmitted directly from the engine …
Synchronizer operation
A sliding ring is mounted on the spline of the main shaft. The sliding ring has conical surfaces on both sides with an inclination and a diameter corresponding to the conical surfaces of the gears. …
Gearboxes with permanently mesh gears
In such a gearbox, the gear pairs on the intermediate and main shafts are constantly in mesh, while the main roller wheel can get on it …
Gearboxes with sliding gears
The gearbox used in the classic drive system is a separate unit, enclosed in a separate housing. Such a box usually has three rollers:
■ Input shaft, taken out …
Types of gearboxes
Three types of gearboxes are used in motor vehicles, differing in the method of control. These are:
• ordinary gearboxes, where you choose the right gear (running) …
Fluid clutches
In addition to friction clutches, hydrokinetic clutches have been used in some vehicles, transmitting power due to the inertia of the liquid rotating between the blades of the two rotors: driving and …
