Design of an ATV Gear Box

Abstract

The main objective of the project was to design and fabricate a drive train for an intercollegiate competition called BAJA SAE. The motive to get into this project was to learn more about an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), studying about different parameter which would affect the drive train of the vehicle. All the possible options were considered while making the drive train. After discussions alternative options were taken neglected and the main option was chosen. It was decided that the transmission would be automatic, consist of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) couples with a two staged gearbox which is then couples with the half shaft. The whole system was tested thoroughly and it performed well.
