What is the function of a synchronizer?
1 Answers
The main functions of a synchronizer are: 1. To enable the gears about to mesh to reach the same rotational speed for smooth engagement, allowing the synchronizer sleeve and the gear ring preparing to mesh to quickly synchronize, and preventing engagement before synchronization is achieved. 2. To make the car run more smoothly, enabling the transmission synchronizer sleeve and the gear ring to be engaged to synchronize quickly, shortening the shifting time, and preventing shifting impact caused by engagement before synchronization. 3. To solve the problem of the engine speed and the transmission speed being different during gear shifting operations, effectively avoiding failure to engage gears and eliminating gear noise during shifting. There are two types of synchronizers in the transmission: one is the three-piece synchronizer, and the other is the single-piece synchronizer.
