Difference between CAD and CAM

CAD: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) can be defined as the creation, modification, analysis and optimization of a new component using a computer.  CAD involves 3 major elements:-      1. Hardware      2. CAD software and      3. The user The primary function of CAD involves design, analysis and application to manufacturing. An object drawn with CAD can be analyzed interactively on the CAD screen…

Continuously Variable Transmissions

CVT is an “infinite speed” transmission which can change step-lessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions don’t have a gearbox with a set number of gears, which means they don’t have interlocking toothed wheels. The word gear in CVT refers to a ratio of engine shaft…

Sequential Transmission

A sequential transmission is a type of transmission used on motorcycles and high-performance cars for auto racing, where gears are selected in order, and direct access to specific gears is not possible. Cars with SMTs have a manual transmission with no clutch pedal; the clutch is automatically engaged. In a race car, the motion of the…

Dual Clutch Transmission

A dual clutch transmission, commonly abbreviated to DCT uses two clutches, but has no clutch pedal. Sophisticated electronics and hydraulics control the clutches, just as they do in a standard automatic transmission. In a DCT, however, the clutches operate independently. One clutch controls the odd gears (first, third, fifth and reverse), while the other controls…

Semi-Automatic Transmission

A semi-automatic transmission (also known as clutch less manual transmission, automated manual transmission, flappy-paddle gearbox, or paddle shift gearbox) is a system which uses electronic sensors, processors and actuators to execute gearshifts on the command of the driver. This removes the need for a clutch pedal which the driver otherwise needs to depress before making…
