All about gears and shafts used in the vehicle.

Gears and shafts are the important components available in the vehicle for its internal working. Starting from the gearbox to the differential gears are available everywhere and plays a vital role in transferring effective power from the engine to the wheels. Not only the gears the shafts are also available like a transmission shaft which helps in transferring power from the gearbox to the differential and contains universal joints too.

The gears available in the gearbox helps in converting speed and torque generated by the engine. The small size gears help in increasing the torque by decreasing the rotational speed supplied by the engine. Whereas the largely sized gears help in increasing speed rather than torque. Thus the gears are adjusted in a systematic manner and are meshed as per the requirements. The gears are available in the differential too that helps in providing average torque while taking a turn.

The transmission shafts also play a vital role in supplying power to the wheels. The shaft is equipped with some universal joints which help in supplying rotational energy at different angles.

Thus, gears and shafts are the key components used in the vehicles and occupy a great importance for its effective working.
