Gearbox
A transmission or gearbox provides speed and torq ue conversions from a rotating power source to another device using gear ratios, including for a motor vehicle partly because of the limitations of internal combustion engines. Torque converters, hydraulics, electrical power and hybrid configurations may also be used for the same purpose.

Gearbox has different uses at different places. In Automobiles, engine speed is about 5000 rpm ,but wheels rotate at 1000 rpm.Machine tool spindle rotates at 50 rpm while the motor is at 1440 rpm. Automobile gearbox can have variable output and input speeds ,and few reduction ratios in between.

Gearbox types
It can be classified as Manual Automatic Manual Gearbox can be further divided as 1. Synchromesh and Non Synchromesh Non synchromesh includes :sliding mesh type

Synchromesh GearBox
Constant Mesh Gearbox where diagonal cut helical gear sets are constantly "meshed" together, and a dog clutch is used for changing gears. On synchromesh boxes, friction cones or "synchro-rings" are used in addition to the dog clutch. This type of gearbox is used in modern cars and trucks these days.

Material Selection
Keeping in mind cost effectiveness. It was intended to design a general purpose Gearbox, where cheaper materials would be used. So, Plain Carbon Steel will be used for moving components and Cast iron for Frames and bodies ,because of intricate shape they can be easily casted.

Materials contd.
Plain Carbon Steel with 0.4% carbon or EN8 material is selcted for shaft. Further,Hot rolled being cheaper than cold rolled and heat treated materials , hot rolled will be selcted. For gears : 30 Ni 4 Cr 1 is selected with Sut=1500Mpa For gears, additonal cheap alloying element,such as manganese (0.87%),to make it Strong , giving ultimate strength of 600 Mpa.(P.S.G Design data book 1.13)

Automatic Gearbox
This type of transmission are easy to use. Automatic transmission will select an appropriate gear ratio without any operator intervention . Sun and planet gear are mainly used

Design of Automobile Gearbox
Gearbox are incorporated to match performance of variable speed internal combustion engine. Lowest reduction ratio is needed at highest speed of operation, and vice versa, values of these reduction ratio lies b/w 3.5 to 4.5 for cars and 5 to 7 for commercial vehicles.Gearbox provides reduction ratio between 1:1 to 1:4 for cars to 1:1 to 1:7 for commercial vehicles.

Special features of Automobile Gear box
Universally accepted number of gear ratios is 4.These four are in geometric progression, However ,overdrive gear is provided to enhance performance at higher speeds Additional reduction ratio is provided to enhance performance during higher gradient operation.
