The project
A video of the assembly process done in Inventor
Project overview
The project required each group to design a gearbox for a electrical refit that would replace the existing combustion gearbox in a Hilux game range vehicle. The gearbox was constrained by the length and height dimensions of the combustion gearbox and would be required to transmit the same torque and speed as the original gearbox in 2nd gear.
​
The newly designed gearbox required research papers to be submitted outlining the design and manufacturing process of the unit as well as numerous iterations of calculations that covered every design aspect.
​
The gearbox was split into 4 subsections each headed by a specific group member. The group then choose members to be in charge of other aspects such as CAD design which i was head of as well as a documentation coordinator ( Keegan duffin ) , Group leader ( Damian buck ) and calculations co ordinator ( Jordan Boswell).
​
At the end of the project we were marked on our final drawings , CAD design , calculations , group documentation and an oral assessment scrutinizing our design choices.
