Power Transmission Elements

It is defined as the energy transfer from one location to another location. The energy will start moving from the energy generation source to the energy applied position to obtain the work output. From this method, a large amount of electric energy moves…

Technician A says that a hunting gearset is one in which one drive pinion gear tooth contacts only certain ring gear teeth, Technician B says that a partial nonhunting gearset is one in which one pinion tooth contacts only six ring gear teeth. Who is correct?

When discussing the various gear positions of a transfer case, Technician A says that when the transfer case is in low, the overall gear ratio is numerically increased. Technician B says that when the transfer case is in the high position, the vehicle operates in an overdrive mode due to the decrease in torque multiplication. Who is correct?

Technician A says that side-bearing preload limits the amount the differential case is able to move laterally in the axle housing. Technician B says that adjusting backlash sets the depths of the mesh between the ring and pinion gears’ teeth. Who is correct?
