Course Description:
This class covers the many different transaxle/drive axle designs that are on the market today. It is also meant to reveal that the inside of these transaxles is not scary, and most are very simple. We will cover power flow, gear reduction, and how torque is multiplied. In the first portion of this class, we will cover the torque and horsepower of electric motors and how it varies from gasoline engine designs. We will also cover why electric motors lose their torque with RPM. We will start with simple BEV gear trains and migrate to more sophisticated systems as we go. We hope that you will appreciate the knowledge we have presented throughout the class by taking some time to explain the concepts.
Course Objectives:
- Determine power flow in various transaxle designs
- Perform total gear ratio calculations
