Abstract :

Power transmission is an inevitable part in any automobile. The power from the prime mover (engine/motor) is transferred to the wheels using a suitable transmission system. Various designs of gearbox have been developed in the past. In this paper, an F-N-R (forward-neutral-reverse) gearbox with a compact spur-gear differential is designed by following the design parameters for spur gear, for the required output torque of a vehicle. All the gears and casing for the gearbox is modeled using Solidworks tool. A simple and user-friendly shifting mechanism is designed for the gearbox, adding to comfort. A new spur-gear differential is designed, having spur gears to accomplish differential action, which is more compact and light-weight compared to a conventional differential, since the heavy bevel gear assembly is omitted. Different analyses such as static, dynamic (time-dependent), contact, modal and fatigue analyses are done using ANSYS software. The main objective is to design and fabricate a light-weight, efficient and compact F-N-R gearbox as a replacement to current models.
