A Study of Six-Speed Gear Trains with Eight Gears

D. J. Sanger, G. White

Abstract

It is shown that six-speed gear trains with the minimum number of gears, i.e. eight gears, can be divided into categories which are suitable for overdrive ratios or speed reduction ratios. One gear train from each category is examined and its characteristics and design limits discussed. A technique for computing solutions is outlined and a few typical solutions are given.
