What is a Transmission Like?
1 Answers
Transmission is the device located between the clutch and the central drive. It is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. Used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines, it alters the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gear pairs. Introduction to Automotive Transmission: Automotive transmission mainly refers to the gearbox of a car, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions are primarily composed of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions (AT), on the other hand, consist of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Function of Automotive Transmission: The engine's output speed is very high, with maximum power and maximum torque occurring within a certain speed range. To optimize engine performance, the transmission was developed to coordinate the engine's speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels.
