  • How to Replace Transmission Range Sensor

    How to Replace Transmission Range Sensor

    The transmission range sensor is a computer control system component that determines the position of the gear changer in your vehicle. The powertrain control module receives data from the range sensor and uses it to determine which gears to enable or inhibit. Stated differently, the range sensor makes sure your car always understands the gear…

    Understanding Transmission Cooler

    Most cars have some form of radiator-mounted transmission cooler that aids in providing sufficient cooling for everyday drive and keeps the transmission from overheating. To be extra safe or in specific situations, many vehicle owners will think about installing an auxiliary transmission cooler (also known as a transmission oil cooler). Similar to your engine, your…

  • Understanding powertrain warranty

    Understanding powertrain warranty

    Many car owners are unsure of the scope of a new car’s powertrain warranty. Your car’s engine, transmission, and drivetrain all fall under the category of the powertrain, so for around five years or 60,000 miles, you could expect that a warranty will cover the cost of maintaining or replacing these components. If you are…

  • Understanding flat belt pulley

    Understanding flat belt pulley

    In transmission systems, flat belt pulleys are suitable. Flat belts power these, which run at high speeds and are utilized in low-power applications such as textiles, papermaking, computer printers, and conveyors. The flat belt is less expensive than the serpentine belt pulley’s belt. Flat belts do not require a grooved flat belt pulley because they…

  • Different types of couplings

    Different types of couplings

    A coupling is a device that connects two shafts for the transmission of power. According to the alignment accuracy and torque required, couplings are rigid or flexible. The shaft coupling is a mechanical component that transmits power by connecting two spinning shafts, such as the driving shaft and the driven shaft. It’s found in motors,…

  • Different types of Chain Drive

    Different types of Chain Drive

    Chain drives are perfect for small center distances and can be used up to 3 meters in most circumstances, but up to 8 meters in extreme cases. Chain drives may transmit up to 100 kW of power and have a peripheral velocity of up to 15 m/s. It’s possible to have an 8:1 velocity ratio.…

  • Understanding Servo Motor

    Understanding Servo Motor

    A servo motor is a type of motor that has a high degree of precision in rotation. Servo motors often have a control circuit that provides feedback on the current position of the motor shaft; this feedback allows them to rotate with great precision. A servo motor is used when you wish to spin an…

  • Understanding the term coupling

    Understanding the term coupling

    The term “coupling” is common in the engineering world, it is known as a part that connects two shafts together in order to accurately transmit power. The transmission is done from the drive side to the driven side while absorbing the mounting error (misalignment), etc. of the two shafts. Coupling is used in almost all…
