How to Choose a Transmission?
1 Answers
When selecting a transmission, consider the following aspects: 1. Engine compatibility: The chosen transmission must match the engine's torque. The transmission should also align with the engine's installation dimensions. For engines of the same class, different manufacturers may design the front bearing position of the transmission input shaft differently, leading to variations in the input shaft length. 2. Vehicle usage: Determine whether the vehicle will primarily operate in mountainous or flat areas. For dump trucks or vehicles frequently used in mountainous regions, it is advisable to select a transmission without an overdrive gear and with a larger first gear ratio. This benefits both the engine and transmission lifespan. 3. Cab structure: Different vehicle models have varying cab structures, which require either remotely operated transmissions (connected via flexible cables) or directly operated transmissions.
