Σύνοψη

The purpose of this project was to design a gearbox having 6 forward speeds and one reverse, driven by an engine giving 120kW of power. The gearbox to be designed was a sequential gearbox to fit on small racing cars. In order to design such a gearbox I had to check what gearboxes have been already designed from other engineers and decide about what type of a gearbox to design. I decided to design a sequential type gearbox, that I named" in line gearbox", able to work under racing purposes. I started reading information about gearboxes, ratios, bearings and many other things that are related to this subject and I made the calculations and drawings of a gearbox as I imagined it. Finally I came out with a racing gearbox having a strange gear selection, that is the gears are in line. That was also one of my objectives, to make a gearbox where the driver can change gears easy and very fast and I believe that I have achieved this at a great degree.
