Intelligent power management company Eaton has announced a new name for its Vehicle Group and eMobility businesses. Eaton’s Mobility Group represents the company’s focus on providing solutions across the propulsion spectrum and meeting the evolving needs of its customers from internal combustion to electrified or a combination of both.
Eaton has introduced a battery disconnect unit (BDU) that can be combined with upgraded Breaktorcircuit protection technology to provide circuit protection in electrified vehicles (EVs) while reducing overall complexity and cost.
Involute splines are commonly used in gearboxes to connect gears and shafts, especially when high torque is transmitted through the coupling. The load is shared among multiple teeth around the coupling circumference, resulting in higher load capacity than a conventional single key. However, the total load is not equally shared among all spline teeth, mainly because of
pitch deviations resulting from the manufacturing process. The load distribution along the spline engagement length is also nonuniform
because of tooth misalignments and shaft torsional effects. This paper presents an investigation of the influence of spur gear loads on the load distribution of spline teeth.
