Low Power Source Hydrostatic Transmission

摘要

A Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) student senior design project chose to construct a hydrostatic drivetrain for an off-road vehicle competition. The vehicle uses a low power engine and the hydrostatic transmission system allows for high control of displacement and thus high power efficiency, vehicle performance, programmable driving modes and high torque output. The design, theoretical calculations and partial construction occurred in 2012-13 academic year and the finishing construction continues in the 2013-14 academic year.
