transmission of motorcycle E-Bike Transmission by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - February 26, 20210 1 WHAT IS TRANSMISSION? The mechanism that transmits the power developed by the engine of the automobile to the driving wheel is called the transmission system. Main components are: Engine: Clutch Gearbox Differential WHAT IS CLUTCH? Clutch is a device which is used to transmit power from one shaft to another. It connects a shaft on which it mounted to another shaft which is in motion. Clutches are generally used in automobile to transmit power from engine to the driving wheels. In cars it transmit power from the flywheel connected to the engine shaft to the clutch shaft, And from clutch shaft it is transmitted to the rear wheels through gear shaft, propeller shaft and differential. Requirements of a good clutch Gradual engagement : The clutches should
Introduction to motorcycle Brakes Brakes E-Bike by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - February 26, 2021March 1, 20210 BRAKES Brakes provide the means of slowing or stopping the driven equipment (like bike etc.) effectively and safely in a very short time period. Types of Brakes Disc brake Drum brake DISC BRAKE A disk brake works on the principle of Pascal’s Law/Principle of transmission of fluid pressure. The disc brake is a mechanism for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel from its motion. It is normally made of cast iron, but in some cases, it is also made of composites such as carbon-carbon or ceramic -matrix composites. This is linked to the wheel and/or the axle. To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads is forced against both sides of the disc. Friction caused, on the disc
Introduction to motorcycle Chassis Chassis E-Bike by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - February 26, 2021February 26, 20210 CHASSIS INTRODUCTION:- The chassis acts as a support for attaching all the systems (braking, suspension etc) for the vehicle so it has to be strong. While designing the chassis various factors to be considered which includes compact design, ergonomics, durability, ease while manufacturing and light weight. It is a specially engineered and constructed frame built in (or sometimes around, in which case it is known as an exo cage) the passenger compartment of a vehicle to protect its occupants from being injured or killed in an accident, particularly in the event of a rollover. Some of the major points which are considered for designing the off road vehicle – Endurance Safety and ergonomics Market availability Costs of the components Safe engineering practice. Project Objectives:- The main objectives behind our
Introduction to Motorcycle Steering E-Bike Steering by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - February 21, 2021March 1, 20210 Steering is a system of components and linkages which allows the vehicle to follow the desired path. All vehicles have definite steering except the rail transport which use railroad switches to provide steering function. Following the terms which are used for defining the steering of motorcycle Rake – It is the angle between the steering axis and the vertical (refer fig. 1). Steering axis is the axis around which the front wheel assembly swivels as we move the handlebars (left or right). Significance of rake – Rake angle is directly proportional to the stability of the bike; which means higher the rake angle more will be the stability of the motorcycle ,lower the rake angle less will be the stability of the
Types of Motorcycle Suspension E-Bike Suspension by Ravinder Nath Rajotiya - February 20, 2021March 1, 20210 Types of suspension geometries Motorcycle suspensions have significantly less geometries to think about than cars as they are having two wheels. However different geometries may have big effects in the bike’s handling. Here the geometries are divided into front and rear geometries. Following are the in-depth details of a motorcycle suspension system and the important aspects relating it 1) Front suspension The most variations and working of the most popular and in use front suspension in motorcycles are as follows - Telescopic fork Telescopic fork suspension is the most common and conventional type of front suspension and is used in almost every type of motorcycle today. It consists of a hydraulic tube with an internal spring coil. One of its ends has two forks attached
