TRACTOR APPLICATIONS

Tractors are used initially only for Agricultural applications like

Ploughing, tillage etc.
Now a days , Tractors finds application in Non Agricultural
applications like Loader, Dozer.
In Non Agricultural applications, the severity of usage is high .

MECHANICAL TRANSMISSIONS OF TRACTOR

Tractors has Sliding Mesh, Constant Mesh Transmission

and Synchro mesh Transmissions

MECHANICAL TRANSMISSIONS :

During loader usages, Vehicles moves forward and

reverse frequently
Shuttling results in high heat generation , resulting in
Lower Clutch Life.
Load Subjected is high , due to usage.

VEHICLE ARRANGMENT :

Proposing to Replace existing clutch by TC, to over

come heat Generated
Also TC has unique property of Torque multiplication,
withstanding higher Load Conditions

FORWARD REVERSE CLUTCH

Direction Control Valve sends oil to the clutch circuit , to the

Forward or reverse clutch piston, operating the clutch.
The DCV is operated by Solenoid Valve , operated Electrically.

ENGINE CONVERTOR MATCHING :

The TC performance is calculated at Turbine Shaft.

and dependent of Engine and TC characterics

TORQUE CONVERTOR CHARATERISTICS :

Compare the TC having higher Turbine Torque

and less power loss

AME SIM SIMULATION :

The Dynamic model consists of Torque convertor

and Engine.
Vehicle mass is reflected on the turbine shaft as
vehicle inertia
3rd International CTI Symposium China, September 2014, Suzhou
T.Rajkumar, Y.Subbaiah, P.N.Rao, R.B.Verma- Tractors And Farm Equipment Limited, India

AME SIM SIMULATION :

when the turbine speed is low, the slip speed of

TC is high and therefore the Speed Ratio is low
and torque ratio is high , which result in high
Turbine Torque.

ADVANTAGES
Absorbs torsional Vibration of Engine and drive train.
Non wearing and non abrasion.
6 speed transmission can be replaced by 4 speed
transmission with Torque convertor.
