ABSTRACT
The Sinhgad College of Engineering Baja Team, every year, designs, builds, tests and races an off road vehicle. Typically, every season before this year, the Baja Team used an OEM gearbox straight from a commercial vehicle which satisfied the gear ratios calculated during the design phase. The aim of this project is to develop a customized Gearbox drivetrain which was efficient, lightweight and durable while at the same time conform to the design requirement to integrate with all the subsystems deftly. A gearbox with a cageless differential was found to satisfy all the requirements. In this study, a cageless differential was designed and analysed. The modelling of the gearbox was done using CATIA and the analysis was carried out in ANSYS workbench. The gearbox testing on the Baja vehicle was found to be effective.
