Why do some trucks not have synchronizers?
1 Answers
Some trucks do not have synchronizers due to cost considerations. Here is an introduction to synchronizers: 1. Classification and structure: Synchronizers come in various forms such as constant pressure type, inertial type, and self-energizing type. Currently, the inertial type synchronizer is widely used. It mainly consists of a coupling sleeve and a synchronizer lock ring, and its characteristic is achieving synchronization through friction. 2. Constant pressure type synchronizer: A spline hub 1 is installed between the first shaft gear 2 and the gear 4, which is loosely fitted on the second shaft 5. The spline hub is slidingly connected to the second shaft and the coupling sleeve 3 through its internal and external splines. By moving the coupling sleeve to the left or right, its internal spline gear ring can engage with the gear ring of gear 2 or gear 4, thereby engaging the direct drive or second gear.
