Make a drawing of the gears showing one tooth on each gear (you may use a CAD program or other techniques as appropriate, you may choose a scale for your drawing as appropriate). Estimate the contact ratio. • “Among other things, it is necessary that you be able to actually draw the teeth on a pair of meshing gears. You should understand, however, that you are not doing this for manufacturing or shop purposes. Rather, we make drawings of gear teeth to obtain an understanding of the problems involved in meshing of the mating teeth.” -Shigley and Mischke Involute Profile • How it is constructed –Demo • Properties – Conjugate action – Allows design of whole sets of compatible gears – Conjugate action not sensitive to center distance variations Concept Question • Are the teeth on a matching rack and pinion set the same shape? 1.

  • 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.

This torque-assist mechanism becomes a torque transfer path during gearshifts, in order to overcome a typical dynamic problem of the AMTs, that is the driving force interruption. The mean power contributions during gearshifts are computed for different engine and ACL interventions, thus allowing to draw considerations useful for developing the control algorithms. The simulation results prove the advantages in terms of gearshift quality and ride comfort of the analysed transmission.

  • MANUAL TRANSMISSION SERVICE Introduction
    MANUAL TRANSMISSION SERVICE Introduction Internal combustion engines develop very little torque or power at low rpm. This is especially obvious when you try to start out in direct drive, 4th gear in a 4-speed or 5th gear in a 6-speed manual transmission -- the engine stalls because it is not producing enough torque to move the load. Manual transmissions have long been used as a method for varying the relationship between the speed of the engine and the speed of the wheels. Varying gear ratios inside the transmission allow the correct amount of engine power to reach the drive wheels at different engine speeds. This enables engines to operate within their power band. A transmission has a gearbox containing a set of gears, which act as torque multipliers to increase the twisting force on the driveshaft, creating a "mechanical advantage", which gets the vehicle moving. From the basic 4 and 5-speed manual transmission used in early Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, to the state-of-the-art, high-tech six speed transmission used today, the principles of a manual gearbox are the same. The driver manually shifts from gear to gear, changing the mechanical advantage to meet the vehicles needs. Nissan and Infiniti vehicles use the constant-mesh type manual transmission. This means the mainshaft gears are in constant mesh with the counter gears. This is possible because the gears on the mainshaft are not splined/locked to the shaft. They are free to rotate on the shaft. With a constant-mesh gearbox, the main drive gear, counter gear and all mainshaft gears are always turning, even when the transmission is in neutral.
