The gearbox is also known as the power transmission system in an automobile. The gearbox has a number of gears depending on the vehicles. It is placed after the clutch. The gearbox is used to transmit the speed of the vehicle according to the load condition. It is also known as the torque converter. There are different types of gearboxes in an automobile as follows.
There are 4 different types of gearbox are as follows.
Bevel gearbox is used to transmit power. The axles intersect at 90° in Bevel gearbox. The name bevel gearbox is derived from the gear design used in the gearbox. There are two types of Bevel gearbox. Straight Bevel Gearbox and Spiral Bevel gearbox. Bevel Gearbox consists of many diverse applications.
The helical gearbox is used in heavy-duty power transmission mechanical working machines. The gears in this gear box are in cut angel shape and it keeps gradual contact between the helical gear teeth. It provides smooth operation with out any noise. Helical gear produces a high amount of thrust.
Spur gears are the most commonly used gears. It is used to transmit motion between two parallel shafts due to its shape. The teeth of the spur gear are straight and the tooth surface is parallel to the axes of the mounted shaft. Spur gear creates high noise due to colliding teeth of the gears.
Worm gearbox won the reputation to be the benchmark worldwide. It consists of a cast iron gear case. Worm drive transmits high torque. It has the capacity to bear high shock loads. It consists of three types of gears.
