BASIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES
GOALS to be achieved by a
transmission system
Efficient power conversion from engine to vehicle
traction
Over a wide range of speeds
Good (NVH, speed) shift quality
Good Climbing performance
Good Acceleration
Low fuel consumption (affects selection of final
drive ratio)
Basic Gearbox Calculations

G/B construction
Single Stage
Single stage gearboxes are used
in trans-axles; they are applied,
to front wheel driven cars with
front engine and rear driven cars
with rear engine; this is true with
longitudinal and transversal
engines.
In all these situations the final
drive is included in the gearbox,
2-stage
M4. Select bearing locations and bearing types used to locate mainshaft and layshaft.
M5. Determine forces and moments acting on the gears and bearings at each gear
(you should obtain shear force & bending moment diagrams for the 1st, 2 nd, 3rd ,4th
and 5th gears).
Transmission Design Steps
M6. Carefully select a module for your gears. Design the gears (using AGMA standards!) taking vehicle life
into account. (Hint for M7: the sum of gear facewidths and extra spaces necessary for synchromeshes
determine max. shaft length).
M7. Design the mainshaft and the layshaft taking vehicle life into account. Reduce stress concentrations at
bearing support locations appropriately. Check shaft deflections at the end of your design. Check critical
speeds.
M8. Select the bearings that support the mainshaft and the layshaft taking vehicle life into account.
Compute factors of safety of all bearings.
M9. Design the bevel gears involved in the final drive ratio.
M10. Design the drive shafts, constant velocity joints, propeller shaft (if applicable) and universal joints (if
applicable).
M11. Provide engineering drawings for all the parts that you design. Also provide an assembly drawing.
