What is one of the functions of the drivetrain?
1 Answers
One of the functions of the drivetrain is: to receive the power from the engine and transmit it to the driving wheels; other functions include: increasing the torque from the engine, reducing the rotational speed output by the engine, changing the rotational direction of the engine's output speed, and cutting off the transmission of engine power to the driving wheels. The drivetrain refers to the power transmission device located between the engine and the driving wheels of the vehicle, consisting of the clutch, transmission, universal joint drive, and drive axle. Depending on the characteristics of the transmission elements, the drivetrain can be classified into: mechanical transmission systems, hydro-mechanical transmissions, hydrostatic (volumetric hydraulic) transmissions, and electric transmissions, among others.
