Basic structure of the synchronizer
In fact, the synchronizer is a friction plate disposed on the combined sleeve and the gear set. Unlike the conventional friction plate, its friction surface is tapered.
In fact, the synchronizer is a friction plate disposed on the combined sleeve and the gear set. Unlike the conventional friction plate, its friction surface is tapered. The function of the friction plates is to advance the friction between the straight teeth and the vertical teeth of the disc to transmit the energy of the larger speed to the one with the smaller speed, so that the smaller speed increases the speed. It is synchronized with the speed of the one with the higher speed. This not only ensures normal shifting, but also acts as a buffer. The number and material of the cone friction plates directly affect the performance of the synchronizer.
