1. Transmissions and Drivetrain Design

Author : Michael Hilgers

Published in: Transmissions and Drivetrain Design

Publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg

Abstract

The task of the transmission, clutch and propeller shaft is to transmit the mechanical motion of the engine to the axle and the wheels. These components also perform other essential functions. The motion of the engine must be converted.

next chapter Transmission

Strictly speaking, the transmission ratio is a signed variable: If the rotating speed of output shaft is in the opposite direction to the input shaft, the transmission ratio is negative. If both shafts rotate in the same direction, the transmission ratio is positive. For the sake of simplicity, we usually dispense with the prefix and concentrate solely on the value.

For engine speeds lower than this, the available engine power is low—see Fig. 1.2—which would consequently make it necessary to downshift even for very small increases in driving resistance.
