NOTE

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM I

The transmission system, also known as a gearbox or transmission, is a mechanical component in vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines. It transfers power from the engine to the wheels while allowing the driver to control the vehicle's speed and direction by selecting different gear ratios.

Types of Transmission Components

  1. Gears: Toothed wheels that transmit power from the engine to the wheels at different speeds.
  2. Shafts: Mechanisms that connect gears and transfer rotational motion between them.
  3. Clutches: Devices used to engage and disengage power transmission between the engine and gearbox.

Clutch

A clutch is a mechanical device used to engage and disengage power transmission between the engine and the transmission system. It allows the driver to smoothly start, stop, and shift gears by temporarily interrupting the power flow from the engine to the gearbox.

Types of Clutches

  1. Friction Clutch: The most common type of clutch, which uses friction surfaces to engage and disengage power transmission. It consists of a pressure plate, clutch disc, and flywheel.
  2. Hydraulic Clutch: A type of friction clutch that uses hydraulic pressure to engage and disengage the clutch. It offers smoother operation and requires less effort from the driver.
  3. Centrifugal Clutch: Typically used in small engine applications, such as lawn mowers and go-karts. It automatically engages when the engine reaches a certain speed and disengages when the engine slows down.
  4. Electromagnetic Clutch: Utilizes electromagnetic force to engage and disengage power transmission. It's commonly used in applications where rapid engagement and disengagement are required, such as in automatic transmissions and industrial machinery.

EVALUATION: 1. What is a transmission system

  1. Mention the basic types of a transmission system
  2. Define a clutch
  3. Identify 3 types of clutch you know

CLASSWORK: As in evaluation

CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the students positively
