Principle of Suspension System
1. To restrict road vibrations from being transmitted to the various components of the vehicle 2. To protect the passengers from road shocks 3. To maintain the stability of the vehicle in pitching…
Suspension System Introduction
Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose — contributing to the…
Mechanical Advantage
Gear teeth are designed so that the number of teeth on a gear is proportional to the radius of its pitch circle, and so that the pitch circles of meshing…
Reverted Gear Train
A reverted gear train is very similar to a compound gear train. They are both used when there is only a small space between the input and output shafts and…
Planetary Or Epicyclic Gear Train
Like a compound gear train, planetary trains are used when a large change in speed or power is needed across a small distance. There are four different ways that a…
Simple & Compound Gear Train
Simple Gear Train- The simple gear train is used where there is a large distance to be covered between the input shaft and the output shaft. Each gear in a…
Gear Train
A gear train is formed by mounting gears on a frame so that the teeth of the gears engage. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll…
How Does Gear Ratio Affects Torque
First....What is torque? Torque is a twisting force- (it doesn't do any 'work' itself- it is simple an application of energy). Work (or 'stuff') happens, when torque is applied and…
How Does a Gear Ratio Affect Speed?
The gear ratio tells us how fast one gear is rotating when compared to another. If our input gear (10 teeth) is rotating at 5 rpms, and it is connected…
Gear Ratio
The gear ratio of a gear train is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the angular velocity of the output gear, also known as the speed ratio…
