English

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.

  • Mechanical Transmission Systems
CONT

The gear ratio of the differential gearbox. The differential gearbox distributes the engine's power(via the transmission input shaft or propellor shaft) to the wheels. The axle ratio of the differential reduces the revolutions of the transmission input shaft before it reaches the wheels. Typical automotive axle ratios are in the range of 2. 7 : 1 up to 4. 3 : 1. The higher the ratio, the faster the engine will rev at a particular vehicle speed.
