Outline Project Goal and Objectives Project Planning Detailed System Design Results Conclusion and Recommendations
Goals and Objectives Suitable for an emerging market Inexpensive to produce High fatigue safety factor High strength capacity Ability to handle high torque and horsepower Lightweight Allowance for ample clearance Should operate under extreme conditions GOAL: To develop an efficient transmission/gearbox design to suit the needs of the emerging market vehicle.
Constraints on Transmission Length: 300 mm maximum Width: 350 mm maximum Height: 300 mm maximum Weight according to total weight of vehicle.
Gear Train: Calculation Equations Minimum Number of Teeth Gear Diameter Number of Revolution Safety Factor Torque Velocity Transmitted Load
Design Calculations • Using a creditable machine design textbook, calculation for tooth number, safety factors, bending, wear, and stress were done.
Shaft Design Input shaft Reverse shaft Output shaft
Housing Upper housing Bottom housing
Other Major Components Synchronizer Slider for synchronizer Synchronizer engager Reverse engager shaft
Other Major Components Bearing gasket Bearing Engager shaft
Results • Design is created to fit constraints. • Design was verified by FEA. • It is a safe transmission design.
Conclusion & Recommendations • Developed a successful design • Better communication between Universities involved • Obtaining up to date software
