It can be activated automatically or manually controlled with the left foot. - No overheating because the differential lock does not slip - Higher resistance with heavy duty front and rear axles. • For a limited investment, standard axles with limited slip differential are also available and proven to be reliable. • For even more reliability, we have invented the COOLING BOX that keeps constant the cooling fluids temperature. EASIER MAINTENANCE, LOWER COSTS • A single piece electronically-operated engine hood lifts clear of the engine for service and maintenance • There are remote fluids drain taps for the engine oil, coolant and hydraulic oil. 2 HIGH EFFICIENCY This electronically-controlled 4.7 liter engines offers the operator a choice of four power and torque ratings, MAX, STANDARD, ECONOMY or AUTOMATIC mode. This boosts productivity and reduce fuel consumption. 3 MORE COMFORT FOR MORE PRODUCTIVITY BETTER WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION WITH THE REAR MOUNTED ENGINE MID-MOUNT COOLING SYSTEM This unique design, with the five radiators mounted to form a cube instead of overlapping, ensures that each radiator receives fresh air and that clean air enters from the sides and the top, maintaining constant fluid temperatures.

Jayanaidu1, M. Hibbatullah1, Prof. P. Baskar2 1. PG, School of Mechanical and Building Sciences, VIT University, India 2. Asst. Professor, School of Mechanical and Building Sciences, VIT University, India Abstract: This study deals with optimization of drive shaft using the ANSYS. Substitution of Titanium drive shafts over the conventional steel material for drive shaft has increasing the advantages of design due to its high specific stiffness, strength and low weight. Drive shaft is the main component of drive system of an automobile. Use of conventional steel for manufacturing of drive shaft has many disadvantages such as low specific stiffness and strength. Many methods are available at present for the design optimization of structural systems. This paper discusses the past work done on drive shafts using ANSYS and design and modal analysis of shafts made of Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb). Keywords: Drive Shaft, ANSYS, Titanium, Stiffness. I. Introduction An automotive drive shaft transmits power from the engine to the differential gear of a rear wheel drive vehicle. The drive shaft is usually manufactured in two pieces to increase the fundamental bending natural frequency because the bending natural frequency of a shaft is inversely proportional to the square of beam length and proportional to the square root of specific modulus which increases the total weight of an automotive vehicle and decreases fuel efficiency.

  • Development and Analysis of a Multi-Link Suspension for Racing Applications
    Development and analysis of a multi-link suspension for racing applications W. Lamers DCT 2008.077 Master’s thesis Coach: dr. ir. I.J.M. Besselink (Tu/e) Supervisor: Prof. dr. H. Nijmeijer (Tu/e) Committee members: dr. ir. R.M. van Druten (Tu/e) ir. H. Vun (PDE Automotive) Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Department Mechanical Engineering Dynamics and Control Group Eindhoven, May, 2008 Abstract University teams from around the world compete in the Formula SAE competition with prototype formula vehicles. The vehicles have to be developed, build and tested by the teams. The University Racing Eindhoven team from the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands competes with the URE04 vehicle in the 2007-2008 season. A new multi-link suspension has to be developed to improve handling, driver feedback and performance. Tyres play a crucial role in vehicle dynamics and therefore are tyre models fitted onto tyre measure- ment data such that they can be used to chose the tyre with the best characteristics, and to develop the suspension kinematics of the vehicle. These tyre models are also used for an analytic vehicle model to analyse the influence of vehicle pa- rameters such as its mass and centre of gravity height to develop a design strategy. Lowering the centre of gravity height is necessary to improve performance during cornering and braking. The development of the suspension kinematics is done by using numerical optimization techniques. The suspension kinematic objectives have to be approached as close as possible by relocating the sus- pension coordinates. The most important improvements of the suspension kinematics are firstly the harmonization of camber dependant kinematics which result in the optimal camber angles of the tyres during driving.

  • Design of Constant Velocity Coupling
    Design of Constant Velocity Coupling Prof. A. A. Moghe1, Mr. Yuvraj Patil2, Mr. Mayur Pawar³, Mr. Akshaykumar Thaware4, Mr. Nitin Thorawade5 1Assistant Professor, 2,3,4,5UG Students Department of Mechanical Engineering Sppu, PVPIT, Pune, Mahrashtra, India ABSTRACT: A coupling is mechanical device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmission of power. The basic role of couplings is to join two parts of rotating elements while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. Presently Oldham’s coupling and Universal joints are used for parallel offset power transmission and angular offset transmission. These joints have limitations on maximum offset distance, angle, speed and result in vibrations, noise and low efficiency (below 70%). These limitations can be overcome with Thompson constant velocity (CV) coupling which offers features like minimizing side loads, higher misalignment capabilities, more operating speeds, improved efficiency of transmission and many more. The constant velocity joint is an alteration in design that offers up to 18 mm parallel offset and 21-degree angular offset, at high speeds up to 2000 or 2500 rpm at 90% efficiency. This design lowers cost of production, space requirement and simply technology of manufacture as compared too present CVJ in market. This paper presents review on constant velocity joints/couplings design and optimization. Keywords: Thompson constant velocity joint, Optimization & design, Constant velocity couplings, Parallel Offset, Angular Offset, Power Transmission. [I] INTRODUCTION The basic function of a power transmission coupling is to transmit torque from an input/driving shaft to an output/driven shaft at a specified shaft speed.
