The motor delivers its power to the front wheels through a single - speed constant -
ratio gear reduction unit.
Power from the motor is directed to the front wheels through a single - speed constant - ratio
gear reduction unit.
A low - range is optional, with a modest
gear reduction of 1.42, compared to the typical 2.72, and much less aggressive than the 4:1 reduction on the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
The EPS uses a DC motor and
gear reduction system built into the steering gear housing to provide steering assist.
Note that the input pinion is a smaller gear than the ring gear; this is the last
gear reduction in the car.
Driver selectable Terrain Modes: Normal; Sport; Weather (AWD); Mud and Sand (4HIGH, locked for enhanced traction in deep, loose surfaces); Baja (places vehicle in 4HIGH with unique transmission shift schedule and engine controls utilizing anti-lag technology for high - speed desert racing); Rock Crawl (4LOW with locking rear differential;
additional gear reduction (2.64:1 ratio) provides a 50:1 crawl ratio).
Many upgrades for reliability including a modern 5 - speed manual gearbox mounted to a 2,912 cc engine, alternator,
gear reduction starter, Rally fender vents.
It acts as a
final gear reduction, adjusting the rotational speed one final time before the rotation reaches the driven wheels.
Aftermarket transfer case replacement gears are available for many of the Suzuki 4WDs that
offer gear reduction (numerically higher ratios) for both the high - range and low - range ratios.
Overall gear reduction (at 36.7:1 in low - range first) is nothing to write home about, and with an auto transmission that automatically upshifts even when in manual mode, you can't rely on engine braking for steep descents.
Now, the «Low» in Active Drive Low doesn't really mean it has a low - range
gear reduction like more serious 4X4s.
Included as standard was Mitsubishi's proven Super Select part - time 4WD system with its
super-low gear reduction ratios and an electronic terrain management system (similar to the Everest's).
It is equipped with a 2.5 - litre inline 4 turbodiesel, 86 kW (115 hp), 280 N ⋅ m (207 lb ⋅ ft), manual 5 - speed transmission, rear wheel drive or all - wheel drive, with
optional gear reduction.
The Jeep Active Drive II brings a 2 - speed Power Transfer Unit (PTU) with torque management and a low - range
gear reduction capability, lets drivers utilize a Neutral state for flat - towing, and increases the ride height an inch more.
Some performed useful functions such as fetching items, some were tank bots (which taught campers about
double gear reductions) and others danced with each other.
And because smaller wheels spin faster, they required less of
a gear reduction to match their rotation to that of the motor, saving on gear weight and friction.
In fact, you could make two identically powered output shafts, rotating at the same RPM, if you put the 8000 rpm engine through a 4:1
gear reduction, giving 400 lb - ft on both outputs.
I found that the gears on
the gear reduction system, in the starter, have brass bushings in them.
According to BMW, this lets the electric motor benefit from the transmission's
gear reduction.
• Gear reduction starter is designed for 1958 - 1996 V - 8 and all 90 ° V - 6 engines • Compact design provides increased clearance • Weighs only 10.5 pounds and has
a gear reduction of 3.75:1 • Equipped with a dual bolt pattern for 12.750» (153 - tooth) and 14» (168 - tooth) flywheels • Housing can be rotated to clear exhaust systems • Includes starter, mounting bolts, shims, gaskets and electrical connectors NOTE: Not recommended for competition use.
The 4 - LO setting has a 2.64:1
gear reduction ratio for increased power and grip to climb over difficult obstacles.
There is
no gear reduction or differential...
Looking at their mechanism with the 2 - pass
gear reduction and the double clutches, it seems that it would be easier to just have 2 electric motors with their own gear reductions and get rid of the clutches.
It can not be locked to provide 100 % power front and rear, and it only provides
a gear reduction of 1.4:1.
The gear reduction allows for enhanced climbing ability as well outstanding crawl ratios for severe off - road conditions.
Low range provides a 2.92:1
gear reduction.
Returning to that 4x4 dilemma, a New Process 219 transfer case sent full - time power to all four wheels while adding a 2.62:1 low - range
gear reduction.
Low range provides a 2.92:1
gear reduction that allows for enhanced climbing ability, as well outstanding crawl ratios for severe off - road conditions.
There are three 100 - percent differential locks — center, rear, and front — together with a low - range
gear reduction and electromechanical power steering.
Active Drive II offers a two - speed power takeoff unit and low - range
gear reduction.
