What are the types of synchronizers?
1 Answers
Synchronizers can be categorized into three types: constant pressure type, inertial type, and self-energizing type. A synchronizer consists of a coupling sleeve and a synchronizer locking ring. The functions of a synchronizer are: 1. To quickly synchronize the transmission coupling sleeve with the gear ring to be engaged, thereby reducing gear shifting time and preventing gear shifting impact caused by engagement before synchronization, ensuring smoother driving; 2. Engaging gears for starting does not require waiting for the transmission to adjust speed, avoiding gear grinding during engagement. The principle of a synchronizer is that during gear shifting, the speed of the power output gear is faster than that of the gear being shifted into, addressing the issue of mismatched speeds between the engine and the transmission during gear shifting operations.
