CATIA V5 R18 Gearbox Animation

Animation was compiled with disk space in mind, as such the quality has suffered and unfortunately the gears do not interact as expected.

This gearbox was created as part of a CAD/CAM module. It was not a gearbox design exercise as such.

I was trying to convert you all, subliminally. You saw through my ruse though and for that I congratulate you.

Quite good, but slightly dissapointing. You have the "Dog-Clutches" on normal spur-gears. Helical gears are used in gear-boxes and it is these types of gears that NEED dog-clutches.

Althought I think I can understand why you haven't used spur-gears as that requires surface-modelling and that can be tricky.

Thanks for the comment although I feel I must put forward a statement which disagrees with yours. The internals quite accurately represent those found inside a TWR Volvo gearbox which raced in the BTCC series in the late 90s.

The orientation however of my model is incorrect as the lay input and the output of the output shaft share a common end of the 'customised' housing.

I recevied the lecture from the owner of a very noisy old Corvette, that his older Corvette (which used a truck transmission as provided stock) had straight cut gears, and hence the noise.

@Sidowse yes i know all that i am a mechanic. but motorbikes use straight cut gears. the reason cars use heli gears is because they run quieter thats why when you reverse its very whiny compared to forward gears as its straight cut. but motorbikes dont need quiter gears because theres so much noise from the engine and chain so theres no need. search motorcycle gearbox to see what i mean.

p.s i didnt mean to offend you i was just stating a fact.

All race gearboxes use straight cut gears, they are more efficient straight cut gears are not used in road applications as they produce a lot of noise. That's why road cars use helical gears

[Sidowse]

@roach308 Why are spur-gears used instead of helical-gears? All modern-day cars have helical-gears for all forward-gears. Spur gears are used for reverse only due to being inefficient. I guess you don't really know about what it is that you are talking.
