INTRODUCTION A differential is a gear train with three shafts that has the property that the rotational speed of one shaft is the average of the speeds of the others, or a fixed multiple of that average. In automobiles, the differential allows the outer drive wheel to rotate faster than the inner drive wheel during a turn. This is necessary when the vehicle turns, making the wheel that is travelling around the outside of the turning curve roll farther and faster than the other. The average of the rotational speed of the two driving wheels equals the input rotational speed of the drive shaft.

  • Forklift Differentials
    Forklift Differentials Forklift Differential - A mechanical device which could transmit rotation and torque through three shafts is known as a differential. At times but not at all times the differential would use gears and will operate in two ways: in automobiles, it provides two outputs and receives one input. The other way a differential works is to combine two inputs in order to produce an output that is the sum, average or difference of the inputs. In wheeled vehicles, the differential enables all tires to be able to rotate at various speeds while supplying equal torque to all of them. The differential is intended to drive a pair of wheels with equivalent torque while enabling them to rotate at various speeds. While driving around corners, a car's wheels rotate at different speeds. Several vehicles such as karts operate without using a differential and use an axle instead. If these vehicles are turning corners, both driving wheels are forced to spin at the same speed, normally on a common axle which is driven by a simple chain-drive mechanism. The inner wheel should travel a shorter distance compared to the outer wheel while cornering. Without using a differential, the effect is the outer wheel dragging and or the inner wheel spinning. This puts strain on drive train, causing unpredictable handling, difficult driving and damage to the tires and the roads. The amount of traction necessary to move the car at whichever given moment depends on the load at that moment. How much drag or friction there is, the car's momentum, the gradient of the road and how heavy the automobile is are all contributing factors.

  • Ring Gear and Pinion Tooth Pattern Interpretation
    RING GEAR AND PINION TOOTH PATTERN INTERPRETATION The final pinion position will be verified by using the GEAR CONTACT PATTERN METHOD described as follows: The TOE of the gear is the portion of the tooth surface at the end towards the center. The HEEL of the gear tooth is the portion of the tooth surface at the outer-end. The TOP LAND of a gear tooth is the surface of the top of the tooth. Every gear has a characteristic pattern. RING GEAR TOOTH PROFILE There are two types of gears which are determined by the machining method. One is manufactured by FACE HOBBING, while the other one is manufactured by FACE MILLING. You must first determine the type of gear that you have in order to know which gear pattern chart to use as described in this bulletin. To do this, notice the depth of the ring gear tooth - dimension "A" and "B". If the gear was manufactured using the FACE HOBBING method, both "A" and "B" will be of equal depth. If the gear was manufactured using the FACE MILLING method, "A" will be larger than "B". Once the type of ring gear machining method has been identified, refer to the proper gear pattern chart. FACE HOBBING FACE MILLING NOTE: WHEN MAKING CHANGES, NOTE THAT TWO VARIABLES ARE INVOLVED. EXAMPLE: IF YOU HAVE THE BACKLASH SET CORRECTLY TO THE SPECIFICATION AND YOU CHANGE THE PINION POSITION SHIM, YOU MAY HAVE TO READJUST THE BACKLASH TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION BEFORE CHECKING THE PATTERN.

  • Basic Gear Systems
    Basic Gear Systems A number of gears connected together is called a “Gear Train”. The gear train is another mechanism for transmitting rotary motion and torque. Unlike a belt and pulley, or chain and sprocket, no linking device (belt or chain) is required. Gears have teeth which interlock (or mesh) directly with one another. Advantages The main advantages of gear train transmission systems are that because the teeth on any gear intermesh with the next gear in the train, the gears can't slip. (An exact ratio is maintained.) Large forces can be transmitted. The number of turns a gear makes can be easily controlled. High ratios between the input and the output are easily possible. Disadvantages The main disadvantage of a gear system is it usually needs a lubrication system to reduce wear to the teeth. Oil or grease is used to reduce friction and heat caused by the teeth rubbing together. Gear systems to increase and decrease rotational velocity Gears are used to increase or decrease the speed or power of rotary motion. The measure of how much the speed or power is changed by a gear train is called the gear ratio (velocity ratio). This is equal to the number of teeth on the driver gear divided by the number of teeth on the driven gear. To decrease the speed of the output the driver gear is smaller than the driven gear. (This will reduce the speed but increase the “torque”.) This diagram shows a small gear (A) driving a larger gear (B). Because there are more teeth on the driven gear there is a reduction in output speed.

INC: AUTO-MESHING RACK AND PINION GEAR Auto‐meshing rack and pinion gear In a mechanical system with a rack and pinion, typically the rack and pinion are always engaged with each other but, in some instances, it is necessary to have the pinion gear disengage and engage with the rack. When this happens, the rack and gear need to mesh properly each time that they engage. If the gears do not properly mesh, then the system can lockup, gears can break, or other similar problems occur. One example of this is in a large format printer with a user replaceable printhead cleaner. A rack can be permanently placed in the printer (Figure 1), and then the printhead cleaner contain moving parts driven by the rack. The moving parts could be caps, spitrollers, webwipes, etc. An example of gears locking is shown in Figure 2.

Design space for the freewheel on bicycle is limited by frame, riding posture, etc. However, the number of gear ratios in this design space increased with added more sprockets are the trend on the bicycles. Therefore, reduction of chain width is necessary for working with this compact freewheel. Space and strength are main requirements in the beginning of design according to literatures and patents review. Several new concepts are proposed, and these concepts use the linkage mechanism to achieve the reduction of chain width. Chain width of these concepts proposed in this study can be reduced under the assumption for fixed design space and thickness of sprockets. The finite element method is used to compare the trend of strength among these concepts.

  • Technical Engineering Guide
    TTEECHCHNINICALCAL EN ENGGINEEINEERRININGG 89 www.diamondchain.com TECHNICAL ENGINEERING General Drive Considerations One of the main advantages of the roller chain drive is its ability to perform well under widely varying conditions. Despite this ability, there are a number of rules of good design practice which, if considered early in the design pro- cess, will enable the user to obtain desirable results. Basic dimensions and minimum ultimate tensile requirements for single-pitch, double-pitch and attachment roller chains are specified by various standards organizations worldwide. ASME/ANSI, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers and The American National Standards Institute, defines dimensions such as: pitch, roller width, roller diameter, link plate height, link plate thickness and pin diameter. The primary purpose of the standard is to ensure that manufacturers will produce chains and sub-assemblies that are similar dimensionally and therefore interchangeable. In addition, the standard does offer the user some assurance of quality by defining a minimum ultimate tensile strength for each model of chain. However, tensile strength is not always a valid method to differentiate one manufacturer’s product from another. It is very important to remember that dimensional standardization does not define quality or performance characteristics. Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength: Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength, MUTS, is the static load required to break the chain. Tensile strength values shown in this catalog are not allowable working loads. Load or tension applied 1 to the chain in service should never exceed ⁄6 th of the UTS. If exceeding this value is necessary for a specific applica- tion, contact Diamond Chain.
