Brief working on transmission gears and shafts.

Transmission gears and shafts are the basic parts that help in maintaining the speed and torque required for the displacement of the vehicle. In this blog, I am going to provide the basic working of transmission gears and shaft in the automobiles.

The gears are the thin cylinders having teeth on its circumference. These gears or gear trains help in maintaining the gear ratio required for the effective working of the vehicle. Along with this, the transmission shaft helps in transmitting power at a larger distance. It also has the capability to transfer it at a different angle along with different angular velocities with the help of universal joints.

The engine supplies the power at high rpm. This high rpm can’t be directly transferred to the wheels because they need to be reduced before supplying. A group of gears termed as gear train is employed to perform this task. It helps in increasing the torque by reducing the rotational speed of the shaft. By reducing it at an effective rate the power is transferred to the differential with the help of transmitting shaft.

In short, the transmission gears and shafts helps in reducing the rotational speed of the shaft by providing a better starting acceleration of the vehicle.
