What are the different types of gearboxes used in automobile?
Now, there are various kinds of automotive transmissions and in this article, we will take a brief look at the different types of gearboxes.
- Manual Transmission.
- Torque Converter Automatic.
- CVT Automatic.
- DCT Automatic.
- AMT.
What type of gearbox is most efficient?
Planetary, inline helical and bevel helical gearboxes are the most efficient, whereas worm gearboxes are usually the least efficient.
How do I know what stage my gearbox is?
In the first gear stage, the torque of the gearbox input shaft is doubled. In the second gear stage, this doubled torque is now tripled. As a result, the torque after the second stage is 6 times higher than at the input shaft. Finally, in the third gear stage this 6 times greater torque is now quadrupled.
How many types of gearboxes are there in cars?
Following are the 4 types of gearbox commonly used in modern vehicles. Sliding mesh type gearbox; Constant-mesh type gearbox; Synchromesh gearbox; Epicyclic gearbox; Purpose of Transmission. The purpose of the transmission is to provide high torque at the time of starting, hill climbing, accelerating and pulling a load.
What is a gearbox?
This is enclosed in a metal box called a gearbox. The vehicle speed is also changed with the help of the transmission keeping the engine speed the same with a certain limit.

What are the advantages of helical gearbox?
In this type of the gearbox, all the gears are in constant mesh, they are safe from being damaged and unpleasant grinding sound does not occur while engaging and disengaging them. Modern cars use helical gears and synchromesh devices in the gearboxes, that synchronize the rotation of gears that are about to mesh.
What is an extruder helical gearbox?
Extruder helical gearboxes are used when torsion stiffness needs to be maximized and for low-noise applications. Extrusion gearboxes are used in the plastics industry and in machines that require high mechanical power. The coaxial helical gearbox is ideal for heavy-duty applications.
