Difference between CAD and CAM
CAD: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) can be defined as the creation, modification, analysis and optimization of a new component using a computer. CAD involves 3 major elements:- 1. Hardware 2. CAD software and …
Continuously Variable Transmissions
CVT is an “infinite speed” transmission which can change step-lessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions don't have a gearbox with…
Sequential Transmission
A sequential transmission is a type of transmission used on motorcycles and high-performance cars for auto racing, where gears are selected in order, and direct access to specific gears is…
Dual Clutch Transmission
A dual clutch transmission, commonly abbreviated to DCT uses two clutches, but has no clutch pedal. Sophisticated electronics and hydraulics control the clutches, just as they do in a standard…
Semi-Automatic Transmission
A semi-automatic transmission (also known as clutch less manual transmission, automated manual transmission, flappy-paddle gearbox, or paddle shift gearbox) is a system which uses electronic sensors, processors and actuators to…
Comparison between Manual & Automatic Transmission
Both the automatic transmission and a manual transmission accomplish exactly the same thing, but they do it in totally different way. Advantages of manual transmission over automatic transmission- 1. It is easier…
Clutches & Bands, Torque Converter, Valve Body
1. Clutches & Bands - These are friction devices that drive or lock planetary gear sets members. They are used to cause the gear set to transfer power. In other words, they are…
Planetary Gear Sets
The planetary gear set is the device that produces different gear ratios through the same set of gears. Any planetary gear set has three main components: · The sun gear · The…
Automatic Transmission
An automatic transmission is a motor vehicle transmission that can automatically change gear ratios as the vehicle moves, freeing the driver from having to shift gears. In this transmission system the gears are never physically moved…
