Power transmission systems have:

  • Drive motors
  • Shafts
  • Conversion mechanisms
  • Supporting things
  • Drive mechanisms
  • Housing + lube

Drive Assembly Conceptual Example

In Lecture 1, we draw a schematic of a drive assembly from the input shaft → counter shaft → output shaft, with the gears and bearings shown and such. Given an input velocity we can find properties of the output using gear ratios (considering losses)
