Mechanical Transmissions Parameter Modelling
In mechanical technique, transmission means appliance which is used as intermediary mechanism between driving machine (e.g. of engine) and working (consumed) machine. The role of transmission is transmitting of mechanical energy from main shaft of driving machine to main shaft of working machine. The selection of transmission is limited by the price of complete appliance, by working environment, by dimensions of the appliance, technical regulations, etc. In mechanical engineering, so as in technique generally, mechanical transmissions are broadly used. Mechanical transmissions are mechanisms which are used for mechanical energy transmitting with the change of angle speed and appropriate change of forces and rotary torques. According to the type of transmitting, mechanical transmissions could be divided into: transmissions gear (sprocket pair), belt transmissions (belt pulleys and belt), friction transmissions (friction wheels) and chain transmissions (chain pulleys and chain).
