 Power Trains

v The term power train or refers to the group

of components that generate power and
deliver it to the road surface. This
includes the engine, transmission, drive
shafts, differentials, and the final wheels,
drive.

 Power Train Arrangement
Power
Trains

Rear Wheel Drive: Front Wheel drive:

power is transmitted to the rear Is power is transmitted to the
wheels from the engine. front wheel from engine.

All Wheel drive:

All the wheel are powered.

v FWD
More interior space
Less weight
Improved drive train effeciency
v RWD
Even weight distribution
Better braking
Weight transfer during acceleration
v AWD
More handling and traction
v
 Engine
v In an internal combustion engine the
expansion of the high temperature
and pressure gases, which are
produced by the combustion, directly
applies force to a movable
component of the engine,

Engine
 Turbocharger

v Turbochargers are forced induction system

which has its compressor powered by a
gas turbine running off the exhaust gases
from the engine.
v Purpose of super charging:

Ø To reduce weight per power

Ø Maintain the power at high altitudes
Ø To improve power in a racing car

Turbo Charger
 Supercharger

v A supercharger is a "forced induction"

system which uses a compressor powered
by the shaft of the engine which forces air
through the valves of the engine to achieve
higher flow. When these systems are
employed the maximum absolute pressure
at the inlet valve is typically around 2 times
atmospheric pressure or more.
 Clutch

v A clutch is a mechanism which connects or

disconnects the transmission of power
from one working part to another, i.e. the
crankshaft and gear box primary shaft.
 Gear Box

v Gear set is provided to permit the engine

crankshaft to revolve at a relatively high
speed while the wheels turns at slower
speeds.
 Gear Box
Each transmission gear provides a different amount of
acceleration and speed. The combination of speed and
acceleration is related to the power from the engine.
 Driveability

v Driveability is a subjective term used to

describe the ability to "access" an engine's
power. A naturally-aspirated engine with a
wide power band will have very good
driveability; putting the pedal to the floor at
any speed in any gear should yield
reasonable acceleration.
Power Shaft

v It’s a steel tube having forged steel

universal joints at each end. Its only
function is to deliver the transmission
output torque to the differential input
 Axle assembly

v Power from propeller shaft goes to the axle,

ultimately to be delivered to the road
wheels.
v Axle:
§ Live Axle
§ Dead Axle
§ Axle less transmission
 Axle assembly

v Live Axle
Either rotates or houses shafts that rotate.
v Dead Axle
That does not transmit power like the front
axle in a rear wheel drive
v Axle Less
Where the wheel are mounted on two
separate stub axles without having any
axle joining the two wheels.
 Wheels

v Wheel is to support
the load of the
vehicle and
passengers and to
resist the side
force, created by
turning.

 Conclusion LOGO

The basic objective of this presentation was

to impart the fundamental knowledge of power
trains and its supporting units , its different
arrangements of power transmission .

As engineering students we must have the sound

knowledge of the basic and different
automotive systems . Though we usually travel
by these machine but hardly few have got
general concept of the mechanical system
involved .
