Selecting the Gear Ratio of the Final Drive in Light Caterpillar Vehicles

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Analysis of kinematic systems, final-drive designs, and the characteristics of the components permits the development of a method of selecting the gear ratio of the final drive and computer calculation of the strength of its components in a light caterpillar vehicle as a function of the gear ratio of the final drive and the speed of its components. A method is developed for assessing the calculations in terms of the basic strength parameters, so as to ensure rapid calculations with changes in the components, materials, speeds, and loads.
