Gearbox Apparatus Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Gearbox Apparatus.
Gearbox Apparatus
The sliding mesh box, although it is
still used on heavy commercial vehicles, is seldom found on modern cars,
but its basic construction and operation are important from the
student’s point of view as it represents the basic layout from which
most modern gearboxes have been developed.
Teaching objectives
Measure of the angular displacement at the input and output of the gear box and comparison with the calculated values.
Calculation of the efficiency for different ratios according to the torque at entry.
Technical specifiations
Fundamentally the gearbox consists of gear wheels of different sizes which may be engaged as required.
Simple three forward ratio and reverse sliding mesh box.
Pulleys fitted with protractors are
attached to the input and output shafts so that the student may
determine and verify velocity and torque ratios.
