Re: pic: 254/968 Transmission
Lightening the aluminum gears doesnt have nearly as big of an impact as lightening the same sized steel gears, obviously. The weight was removed because it could be. For the designed power constraints and face widths, the added material in the web was of no real benefit. For most of the gears we designed, we were able to remove more than half of the total gear weight using pockets and holes.
These gearboxes have 2 small CIM's per side.
