                                   Introduction to  Automobile transmission system

 

    What is Automobile transmission system?

        A system is necessary to transmit the power developed by the engine to the wheels. This system is called as Automobile transmission system.

 

     PURPOSE OF AUTOMOBILE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM:

        To transmit the power from the engine to wheels.

      ARRANGEMENT OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEM:

 

      

        VARIOUS COMPONENTS:

      

•Clutch

•Gear box

•Propeller shaft

•Universal joints

•Differential

•Rear axle & wheels

 CLUTCH:

 

  To engage and disengage the transmission of power from engine to gear box.

  GEAR BOX:

 

 To provide

 •Various torque  / speed ratios

 •A neutral position

 •for reversing the direction

      UNIVERSAL JOINT

       To transmit torque at an angle

     PROPELLER SHAFT:




       A driving shaft that connects gear box to the differential.


     DIFFERENTIAL:
 

  To provide a relative movement to the two rear wheels while taking turn.


REAR AXLE:

 

To transmit power from differential to the driving wheel           

  

WHEELS

     •To move the vehicle

•To support the weight of the vehicle
