What causes the transmission to shift? It's shifted by shifter forks, also known as sliding yokes. These resemble the oarlocks you find in a row boat. and they ride in a groove in the clutch sleeve and sliding gear. Shifter forks are connected to a cam and shaft assembly. The cam assembly is kept in the selected gear by spring loaded steel balls that jump through notches(in the cam assembly) and hold the shifter forks in that gear. The shafts(of the cam and shaft assembly) go through the housing and are fastened to shift levers.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

Any toothed gearing together with its housing which is called a "gear case. "

CONT

The landing gear of the BE-10 aircraft is a fully retractable tricycle configuration, driven by a 28-volt motor located on the forward side of the main spar. The main gear actuators are driven from the motor gearbox through torque shafts. The nose-gear actuator is driven by a duplex chain from a sprocket on the motor gearbox. The input shaft to the nose-gear actuator drives a series of rotating gears inside the actuator. These gears rotate a screw into and out of a lubricated aluminum-bronze alloy nut. The movement of the screw through the lubricated nut extends and retracts the nose landing gear.

The better brushcutters have a design whereby the accessories, such as brush blades, tri-cut blades, tring trimmer heads, and others, fit FLUSH against the gear housing, leaving no gap whatsoever where weeds can get wedged. This is an excellent design, and one to look for... Now HERE's something that really works. Called by various names, this tri-cut blade will cut through tough, woody plants with ease, including mountain laurel and rhododendron. If your brushcutter is powerful, it will also cut down fairly large tree saplings. These blades are made from steel, and can be resharpened when dull.
