  • Unit-Iii Transmission System
    UNIT-III TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TRANSMISSION SYSTEM Chief function of the device is to receive power at one torque and angular velocity and to deliver it at another torque and the corresponding angular velocity. LAYOUT OF AUTOMOBILE POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEM 1. To provide for disconnecting the engine from the driving wheels. 2. When the engine is running, to enable the connection to the driving wheels to be made smoothly and without shock. 3. To enable the leverage between the engine and driving wheels to be varied. 4. It must reduce the drive-line speed from that of the engine to that of the driving wheels in a ratio of somewhere between about 3:1 and 10:1 or more, according to the relative size of engine and weight of vehicle. 5. Turn the drive, if necessary, through 90° or perhaps otherwise re-align it. 6. Enable the driving wheels to rotate at different speeds. 7. Provide for relative movement between the engine and driving wheels. CLUTCH The clutch is housed between the engine and transmission where it provides a mechanical coupling between the engine's flywheel and the transmission input shaft. The clutch is operated by a linkage that extends from the passenger compartment to the clutch housing. The purpose of the clutch is to disconnect the engine from the driven wheels when a vehicle is changing gears or being started from rest. Disengaging the clutch separates the flywheel, the clutch plate and the pressure plate from each other. The flywheel is bolted to the end of the crankshaft and rotates with it.

It wasn’t until ten years later in Boston, Massachusetts when the first improvements on the Panhard design were implemented. The Sturtevant brothers equipped their auto- mobile with a two-forward-speed gearbox with two automatic friction clutches. The stress of changing gear ratios and the lack of technological advances in metallurgy left their offering prone to failures, and the car was never put into production to the masses. It did, however, plant the idea collectively into the minds currently working on auto- mobile manufacturing at the time that with perfection of the flawed areas, these obsta- cles could be overcome. With this in mind, it became clear that the limitations of two forward speed gear ratios must give way to a transmission that would allow varying be- tween maximum to deliver the most availa- ble acceleration, to the minimum so that the engine would not overload under normal driving conditions. This would inevitably be known as the infinitely variable gear trans- mission. Early versions of these included friction -disc drives, which were used successfully A Panhard-Levassor 1890-1895 on many early automobiles, but were There have been many obstacles to ly manual gearboxes were like everything plagued with the trouble of flat spots on the overcome with engineering since the advent else on those vehicles: primitive.

Most automatic transmissions have a defined set of gear ranges, often with a parking pawl feature that locks the output shaft of the transmission. Similar but larger devices are also used for heavy-duty commercial and industrial vehicles and equipment. Some machines with limited speed ranges or fixed engine speeds, such as some forklift trucks and lawn mowers, only use a torque converter to provide a variable gearing of the engine to the wheels. Besides automatics, there are also other types of automated transmissions such as continuous variable transmissions (CVTs) and semi-automatic transmissions, that free up the driver from having to shift gears manually by using the transmission's computer to change gear, if for example the driver were redlining the engine.
