“Chamfer Analysis for Smooth Diagonal Shifting by Using ‘Creo-MECHANISM’ Tool” 2023-01-1676

In current competitive automobile sector, gear shift quality has become significant factor for vehicle evaluation. OEMs are sensibly focusing on improving gear shift quality to meet customer’s expectations.
Though there are different gear shifting habits in different drivers, diagonal shifting is the fastest way of shifting gears in manual transmission vehicle. So the components linked with shift system should be designed to facilitate smooth diagonal gear shift pattern.
This paper enlightens the process of defining chamfers on internal gear shifting components for smooth diagonal shifting movement of gear shift lever. It is hard to define chamfers by analytical or practical approach. Creo-mechanism is very useful simulation tool which can be used to understand diagonal shift patterns and to define the chamfers.
