Product Description
The UGears Gearbox is a miniature car transmission mechanism that transfers torque from the engine’s crankshaft to the wheels. Once you have assembled the Gearbox, you can experiment with the UGears manual gearbox in turns. You have several options: You can choose I, II, III, or use the reverse gear with a kinematic pair of gears with different ratios. By rotating the actuator handle clockwise, you can watch and control the rotation speed of the layshaft and drive shaft. There are three forward gears meaning layshaft and gears rotate with increasing speed, and there is one reverse gear.
In Position “N” both clutch gears of layshaft remain uncoupled and idling; the First Gear makes the layshaft and gears rotate with the lowest speed; the Second Gear lets the drive shaft along with the flywheel rotate with average speed and the Third Gear allows the layshaft and all gears rotate with the highest speed. Switch on the Reverse gear and see how the driving clutch gear moves towards gear “R”
