The extrusion process is widely used in the production of hollow pipes and tubes. In this article, we are going to discuss the Extrusion Process along with its Definition, Types, Advantages, Disadvantages & Applications in a detailed way. Definition of Extrusion Process: Extrusion is a compression process in which the work material is forced to […]
Rolling Process: Definition, Working, Rolling Mills, Advantages, Disadvantages & Applications [PDF]
Rolling is a metal forming process in which the deformation takes place under the application of Compressive forces between the rollers. In this article, we are going to discuss a detailed presentation on the Rolling Process with its Principle, Working, Types of Rolling Mills, Advantages, Disadvantages & Applications. Let's dive into the article of Rolling […]
Types of Axles: Front Axle, Rear Axle and Stub Axle [PDF]
An Axle is a shaft for rotating wheels of the vehicle. One end of the axle is connected to the differential via Sun gear and the other end is connected to the wheels. In the last article, we had discussed Synchromesh Gearbox and Epicyclic Gearbox which comes under manual and Automatic Transmissions. In today's class, […]
Torque Tube Drive: Parts, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages and Applications [PDF]
In the Torque Tube Drive, the spring takes the weight of the body, side thrust, and the remaining i.e.Torque reaction, driving thrust and the braking torque was taken by another member which is called the Torque Tube. In the last class, we had discussed Hotchkiss Drive in a detailed way whereas, in today's class, we […]
Hotchkiss Drive: Parts, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages and Applications [PDF]
Hotchkiss drive is the most widely used type of Rear axle drive. It is also simplest compared to Torque Tube drive. In all the drives which are employed for rear axles, the springs take the weight of the body. Types of Rear Axle Drives: There are many types of drives, out of which two are […]
Overdrive in Automobile: Parts, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages and Applications [PDF]
In general, the speed of the wheel is less than the engine speed. but if you want to increase the speed of the wheel greater than the engine speed, then we need to use a device and that is discussed below. Definition of Overdrive: The device that is used to increase the speed of the […]
Epicyclic Gearbox: Components, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications [PDF]
Epicyclic Gearbox is also known as Planetary Gearbox or Planetary Gear Train or Epicyclic Gear Train. It is used as a transmission system to get various speed ratios in forward as well as in reverse directions. Introduction of Transmission Systems: As you know that they are two types of Transmission systems. One is Manual Transmission […]
Synchromesh Gearbox: Construction, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications [PDF]
Synchromesh Gearbox is similar to the Constant Mesh Gearbox in which dog clutches in the Constant Mesh Gearbox are replaced by Synchromesh devices for smoother engagement of gears. The gears on the main shaft are free to rotate w.r.t the main shaft whereas the gears on the layshaft are fixed I.e. there is no relative […]
Constant Mesh Gearbox: Components, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages, Applications [PDF]
This is one of the transmission systems in automobiles which is advanced of Sliding Mesh Gearbox. Constant Mesh Gearbox will come under Manual Transmission and overcome the limitations of Sliding Mesh Gearbox, the Constant Mesh Gearbox has come into the picture. There are 3 types of Gearbox present in the subject of Automobile Engineering. They […]
Sliding Mesh Gearbox: Components, Working, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications [PDF]
In automobiles, Sliding Mesh Gearbox is one of the transmission systems which is of the oldest type. As we have two types of Transmission systems, one is Manual Transmission and the other is Automatic Transmission. In the last session, we discussed the Cone clutch, Electromagnetic clutch, and Single Plate Clutch, and we are moving towards […]
