A transmission means gears working together. Main
components for transmission: gears and shafts. A Gear or cogwheel means a rotating machine part which has cut
teeth or cogs which meshes with another similar part to transmit power. There
are two types of gears are external and internal. External gears have teeth on
the outer surface. Internal gears have teeth on the inner surface. The other
types of gears are Spur gear, Helical gear, Double helical gear, Bevel gear,
Spiral bevels gear, Hypoid gear, Crown gear, Worm gear, etc. Rotating machine
element which transmits power from one part to another part is called shaft.
Usually, gears are mounted on it. There are two types of shafts Transmission
shafts and Machine shafts. Transmission gears and shafts are the key components because of which we are driving our
cars today.
Types of Transmission
There are two
types of Transmission
Automatic Transmission: In Automatic Transmission, the cars change the
gears automatically.
Manual Transmission: In Manual Transmission the driver changes the gears
using the clutch.
Transmission is a procedure
in which the fuel energy converts into a mechanical energy, which drives
forward a car purposefully. Everybody knows that energy is the source of power
and power is the potential in any mechanism to run the engine.
v What
is a Transmission?
The transmission is the
conversion of the energy, which is derived from the fuel to gear up the speed
and motion in a car. This transformation of the energy into useful power
fluctuates as per the driving requirement. This change becomes low if the speed
is reduced and it becomes high if the vehicle increases its speed. This transmission gears and shafts is a
combination of the connection of the engine, gear, and shaft, which are interlinked
inside the bonnet.
v Transmission
in the Gears
Gears are usually meant for
taking up motion and speed to the car. All the six gears mean several speed
manuals and it transmits from lower to higher speed according to the speed
capacity of the car. This procedure can change itself from one condition to
other with the variant usage of the fuel and power consumption.
This transformation of energy
in gear can be manual or automatic. If the transformation is done in the
handbook process, then it naturally consumes more power and fuel.
On the other hand, the
automatic gear sets a particular speed ratio depending on the load on the
carriage. It reduces the fuel consumption as the rate ratio is fixed and does
not fluctuate unless the vehicle is set out of the auto gear mode.
v Transmission
in the Shafts
In crankshaft of the engine,
the gear is changed automatically. Now the shaft itself is subject to the
manual changes because it specifies the direction of the car and is connected
to the engine, so the gear. Therefore, the shaft is somehow internally attached
to the apparatus through the engine. Therefore, motion and direction are
internally and externally connected through the shaft and gear quite correctly.
For the modification of the transmission gears and shafts, it is
necessary to continue research on the betterment of the parts of the engine,
which regulates all these activities of a vehicle from the core.
