Design of an ATV Gear Box
Mohit Pillai, Naman Sharma, Vinit Bhandari, Ram Bansal
Abstract: The main objective of the project was to design and
fabricate a drive train for an intercollegiate competition called
BAJA SAE. The motive to get into this project was to learn more
about an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), studying about different
parameter which would affect the drive train of the vehicle. All
the possible options were considered while making the drive
train. After discussions alternative options were taken neglected
and the main option was chosen. It was decided that the
transmission would be automatic, consist of a continuously
variable transmission (CVT) couples with a two staged gearbox
which is then couples with the half shaft. The whole system was
tested thoroughly and it performed well.
Keywords: ATV, CVT, spur gear, compound gear train, gear box.
I. INTRODUCTION
In the ATV drive train consist of Engine which is coupled
with a CVT, CVT is coupled with the compound gear train
which is then connected to half shaft. The engine used in
drive train is of Briggs and Stratton, the engine is of 305cc,
producing 10 hp and 19.2 NM of torque at 2800 RPM.
There are various transmission options like manual, semi-
automatic, automatic. The problem with manual
transmission is that you have to shift gears, that creates a
problem for the drives as it would quite difficult for a driver
to shift in an uneven, rough terrain. Same is the case with
semi-automatic. While in automatic transmission there is no
need of shifting as everything is automatic. In this case a
CVT is selected for automatic transmission. CVT provides a
maximum ratio of 3.9:1 in under drive condition and 0.75:1
in overdrive condition. The torque produced by the engine
and CVT is not enough to run the vehicle, so the remaining
torque is provided by gearbox which a compound gear train
consist of two stage reduction.
II. OBJECTIVES
Design a system that would make the torque required to
move the vehicle and to design a gearbox that would
maintain the required centre distance between input shaft
which is connected to secondary CVT and the output shaft
which is connected to the half shaft. The system has to be
cost effective, light weight and efficient.Vehicle) with an
The gearbox is designed for an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle)
with an engine of following spec.

Maximum Torque: 19Nm @2800 rpm
Maximum power: 10Hp @3800 rpm
III. SIGNIFICANCE
The findings of this study will redound for automotive
society considering that power to weight ratio is
consequential for an ATV. A final drive gear box provides
a fixed reduction to overcome the lack of torque produced
by the CVT in pair with the specified engine. This final
drive gearbox is designed to produce maximum torque with
high efficiency.

a) Input shaft
Input pinion is integrated with the input shaft of the gearbox.
Input shaft couples CVT to the gearbox through the splines.
b) Intermediate shaft
Intermediate shaft has intermediate pinion integrated on it
and intermediate gear is mounted through a key way.
c) Output shaft
Output gear is mounted on to the output shaft through a key
way. Half shafts are coupled with the help of splines.
d) Oil seals
Oil seals are used to prevent leakage of oil and it also oil and
to also prevent dust particles from entering the gear box
casing.
e) Bearings
Bearings used in gearbox are tapper roller bearing.
