  2. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

    Spur-gear differential. A spur-gear differential has an equal-sized spur gears at each end, each of which is connected to an output shaft. [8] The input torque (i.e. from the engine or transmission) is applied to the differential via the rotating carrier. [8] Pinion pairs are located within the carrier and rotate freely on pins supported by the ...

  3. Hypoid gearboxes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoid_gearboxes

    Hypoid gear sets have long been used in the differential of rear-wheel drive cars, trucks and robotic arms.The scope of misalignment between the centers of the two interlinking shafts permits utilization of larger sized gears which enhances the contact surface area and reduces the wear and tear on the gear hence extending the life and power transmission capabilities of the gearboxes.

  4. Spiral bevel gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_bevel_gear

    Spiral bevel gear. A spiral bevel gear is a bevel gear with helical teeth. The main application of this is in a vehicle differential, where the direction of drive from the drive shaft must be turned 90 degrees to drive the wheels. The helical design produces less vibration and noise than conventional straight-cut or spur-cut gear with straight ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear

    Bevel gears are most often mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed to work at other angles as well. [1] The pitch surface of bevel gears is a cone, known as a pitch cone. Bevel gears change the axis of rotation of rotational power delivery and are widely used in mechanical settings. Bevel gear on roller shutter door.

  6. Ultium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultium

    Ultium is characterized by a modular layout, using an Ultium battery to supply power to one or two Ultium Drive unit(s) using a common set of power electronics (charging, battery management system, and inverter). The high-voltage battery is composed of pouch cells that can be stacked horizontally or vertically, depending on the form factor ...

  7. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics)

    The system features an oil pressure operated device attached to the back of the standard gearbox operating on the gearbox output shaft. Through a system of oil pressure, solenoids and pistons, the overdrive would drop the revs on whatever gears it was used on by 22% (.778).

  9. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    In most vehicles with a manual transmission, the driver selects gears by manipulating a lever called a gear stick (also called a gearshift, gear lever or shifter). In most automobiles, the gear stick is located on the floor between the driver and front passenger, but some cars have a gear stick that is mounted to the steering column or center ...
