Spur Gears
Advantages
•They are cheap and easy to design and
manufacture
•They can transmit a large amount of power
Disadvantages
•They are slow gear speed
•They produce a lot of noise when they operate at high speed
•They wear at high rate
10. K vector foundation’16
Helical gears
Advantages
•They Operate smoothly and quietly
•They wear at low rate
• The longer teeth increasing contact area for
higher loads.
Disadvantages
•They are expensive compared with the spur gears
•They produce more heat
• Lateral force (lose power)
16. Final Gear Ratio
Not just one ratio, but multiplied ratios
Constant product ratio X The speed ratio
17. K vector foundation’16
As differential ratio is constant in each car so we
can change speed by changing the gear ratio in the
transmission system
Gear ratio
1st 2.97:1
2nd 2.07:1
3rd 1.43:1
4th 1.00:1
5th 0.84:1
6th 0.56:1
reverse -3.38:1
Note: the gear ratio is one ratio in transaxle while 2
multiplied ratios in manual transmission
40. K vector foundation’16
Transmission
2 ratios + the differential
ratio
Transaxle
1 ratio + axle ratio
Note: All ratios are multiplied to get the final drive ratio
41. RWD FWD
Better weight
distribution
Bear more load (exert
more torque)
Understeering
Less Energy lose
Less Expensive
