Gear Box

Image
                                    Gear Box Function of gear box An automobile is able to provide varying speed and torque through its gear box. Various functions of a gear box are listed below; 1. To provide high torque at the time of starting, vehicle acceleration, climbing up a hill. 2. To provide more than forward speeds by providing more than one gear ratios. In modern cars, five forward and reverse gear is provided. For given engine speed, higher speed can be obtained by running in higher 4 th and 5 th gears. 3. Gear box provides a reverse gear for driving the vehicle in reverse direction. Types of gear boxes 1.     Selective type gear boxes: (i)             Sliding mesh gear box (ii)     ...

CLUTCH

CLUTCH Clutch is a mechanical device it’s one the major part in transmission power system .it provides for the transmission of power from one component to another component, its placed in between the flywheel and gear box .Next to the flywheel and before to the gear box transmit power during engage condition main purpose of the clutch is control the amount of motion whenever it needs, Mechanism of clutch It’s the simplest mechanism connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shaft).One shaft attached to motor or engine which provides power its input shaft (driving member)and the other shaft gear box etc.(the driven member)provides output power of work. Clutch is an unit it contains main parts inside into it Material used for clutch As i already said clutch is a unit it contains many parts each parts are made with different materials .The outer case of the clutch is made up of cast iron, please wait for my next post so you can get to know more about clutc...

Flywheel

Flywheel The flywheel is a disk or wheel attached to the crank, forming an inertial mass that stores rotational energy. In engines with only a single cylinder the flywheel is essential to carry energy over the power stroke into a subsequent compression stroke.   Flywheel mostly present in reciprocating engines to smooth out the power delivery over each rotation of the crank and in most automotive engines also mounts a gear ring for a starter. The rotational inertia of the flywheel also allows a much slower minimum unloaded speed and also improves the smoothness at idle .the flywheel may also perform a part of the balancing of the system and so by itself be out of balance although most engines will use a neutral balance for the fly wheel ,enabling it to be balance in a separate operation. The flywheel is also used as a mounting for the clutch or a torque converter in most automotive applications. Material Flywheel   are typically made by steel and also carbon fiber is u...
