Automotive Gears: Gears play an important role in
trucks, car, buses, motor bikes and even geared
cycles. These gears control speed and include gears
like ring and pinion, spiral gear, hypoid gear,
reduction gearbox.
Depending on the size
of the vehicles, the size
of the gears also varies.
There are low gears
covering a shorter
distance and are useful
when speed is low.
There are high gears for
larger speed.
Functions of
Transmission
• To provide the high torque at the time of
starting, hill climbing, accelerating and pulling
a load since high tractive effort is needed
• It permits engine crankshaft to revolve at high
speed, while the wheels turn at slower speeds
• Variable torque by set of gears
• Vehicle speed can be changed keeping engine
speed same with certain limit
• P=2Pi NT/60

N1T1=N2T2

• The transmission also provides a neutral


position so that the engine and the road
wheels are disconnected even with the
clutch in the engaged position
• A means to back the car by reversing
the direction of rotation of the drive is
also provided by the transmission
Necessity of
transmission
• Variation of resistance to the vehicle
motion at various speeds
• Variation of tractive effort of the
vehicle available at various speeds

gearbox

Synchromesh
Gearbox
• Sliding synchronizing units are provided to equalize
the speeds of gear and dog before meshing
• The device works like a friction clutch
• Equal speeds ensure smooth meshing
• Normally not used in 1st and reverse gear
Working
• Output shaft is always rotating (because it is positively
connected to
the wheels)
• Layshaft is connected to the engine, but it rotates
freely when the clutch is disengaged

Fluid flywheel or Hydraulic
Coupling
Fluid Coupling or Torque Convertor

A fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device used


to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has
been used in automobile transmission as an
alternative to a mechanical clutch
Fluid coupling consists of three components, plus the hydraulic
fluid:
• The housing, also known as the shell (which must have an
oil tight seal around the drive shafts), contains the fluid and
turbines.
• Two turbines:
– One connected to the input shaft; known as the pump or
impellor, primary wheel, input turbine, driving member
– The other connected to the output shaft, known as
the turbine, output turbine, secondary wheel or
runner or driven member
• The driving turbine, known as the 'pump', (or driving torus) is rotated
by the prime mover, which is typically an internal combustion engine
or electric motor. The impellor's motion imparts both outwards linear
and rotational motion to the fluid.
• The hydraulic fluid is directed by the 'pump' whose shape forces the flow
in the direction of the 'output turbine' (or driven torus). Here, any
difference in the angular velocities of 'input stage' and 'output stage'
result in a net force on the 'output turbine' causing a torque; thus
causing it to rotate in the same direction as the pump.
• The motion of the fluid is effectively toroidal - travelling in one
direction on paths that can be visualised as being on the surface of a
torus:
• If there is a difference between input and output angular velocities the
motion has a component which is circular (i.e. round the rings formed
by sections of the torus)
• If the input and output stages have identical angular velocities there is
no net centripetal force - and the motion of the fluid is circular and co-
axial with the axis of rotation (i.e. round the edges of a torus), there is
no flow of fluid from one turbine to the other.
