This paper deals with an analytical method to calculate the press-fit tolerance and fits between gears and shaft for automotive applications. The relative interferences increase sharply in the small diameter range, therefore one must be especially careful when designing small diameter joints. The strength of press-fit depends on the amount of relative interference; extreme interference leads to excessive contact stresses between the gear and shaft eventually leading to failure. Too little interference leads to slippage of gear on the shaft. In the press fit connection a shaft's spline rolling operation and gear internal broaching is eliminated. It is more economical than a conventional spline connection. Press fit connections are used in various transmission between a shaft and a gear. They are used in 6 speed transmission to 9-speed transmission for (German based Vehicle Manufacturer) heavy and light commercial vehicle company.

This paper presents about idea developed in electric car transmission for transverse application and a torque capacity of 200 Nm to 360 Nm. How current differential case support bearing type is changed with added advantage is discussed. Further, in this paper, effect of change in bearing type is discussed. Detailed study on the effect of change in bearing type is done and also bearing stress and life calculations are computed. Further how current differential case material is changed with added advantage is discussed. Detailed analysis of differential case is done to arrive at feasible lightweight conclusion. Our proposed research methodology is expected to be useful in reducing mass and without reducing desired product life.

This paper deals with an analytical engineering method to reduce the stresses in a shaft. The specification and design of transmission shaft is of special significance in the layout of the vehicle transmissions. In this paper an analytical engineering calculation of typical automotive transmission shaft' stresses is done. Later calculated stresses are validated by C.A.E analysis. In the calculations most of the shaft design methodology is shown in detail. The calculations reduce the C.A.E iteration to almost to 1 as correlation is found between calculations and C.A.E analysis.

This paper presents about new concept developed on 7 speed DCT transaxle for transverse application and a torque capacity of 200 Nm to 360 Nm. How current 6 speed DCT can modified to 7 speed with packaging benefit is discussed. In this paper, discussions are focused about torque carrying parts of transaxle only. Here only single countershaft is used giving lot of packaging advantage and at first glance layout looks like four speed layout, but it is compact layout. Further in this paper effect of angular position of shaft in layout is discussed. Position of shafts in transaxle layout effects the stress, bending moment and displacement induced in shaft. Detailed study on effect of change in angle with respect to Bending moment, Stress in shaft, Cylindrical roller bearing (CRB) and Deep Groove Ball Bearing (DGBB) Bearing reaction force analysis, life calculations are computed.

This paper deals with new trends in materials & heat treatment in automotive transmission shafting. The material is S48C a low carbon alloy steel and material for automotive shaft special significance as it reduces overall cost in vehicle transmission shafts. Conventional method of shaft heat heat-treatment is case hardening for 20MnCr5. S48C is low-carbon alloy steel. This is an alternate proposal to 20MnCr5.There are lot of advantages in induction hardening over case hardening. Also induction hardening process with S48C material becomes cheaper than case-hardening with 20MnCr5.Strength and resistance to stress must therefore be carefully considered during the material selection and heat-treatment process. We have done Static torsion test for 20MnCr5 (case hardened steel) and S48C (induction hardened shaft). Test results were comparable with 20MnCr5 (case hardened steel). Also after test a metallurgical inspection was done on an S48C (induction hardened shaft).

This paper deals with setting of Inspection parameters for selected automotive transmission parts in various bench tests. This paper we are discuss about critical dimension's measured for particular type of test. It is not possible to measure all the dimensions of a component for doing a particular test. This is due to time constraints set by program delivery deadlines. From above statement it can be deduced that it is almost impossible to measure all dimensions of a component. A bench level test may consist of two major tests. They are maximum load test and gear shift durability test. The maximum load test deals with gear box durability test and torque carrying capacity of gearbox. Parameters to be measured for some of above parts will be identified. More importantly it will also identify see reasons for that parameter to be measured.
