What type of gear transmission is used in automotive transmissions?
1 Answers
In automotive transmissions, the gear system belongs to the planetary gear system with moving axes. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive transmissions: 1. Overview: A transmission is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion, typically located between the clutch and the central drive. It can alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft according to different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gears. 2. Classification: Automatic transmissions have become mainstream internationally, mainly including AT, AMT, CVT, and DCT types. Early AT transmission systems were primarily 4AT. AT achieves automatic gear shifting through an electronically controlled automatic operating system. CVT is a true continuously variable transmission with fewer parts and a compact size. DCT has two clutches.
