7th day of work: HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The hydraulic system handles move and operate (through a complex system of valves), all mechanisms mentioned above. (Also used in brakes and other parts of the car)

The hydraulic pump is in the engine.

The advantage of this system is that it occupies little and is very effective and precise.

The biggest disadvantage is that due to the temperatures that occur inside the car and the constant and strong vibrations that must withstand the failure of the hydraulic system is very common in F1 cars

6th Workday:self-locking

It is complementary to the differential, and correcting speed difference between the wheels, the curve takes story.
Turning more faster than the other wheel, traction is lost and that is why skidding, when aceleration of the wheels.
The self-locking will make during acceleration, no wheel lock or slip, causing the car to lose traction and resulting in a loss of power.

6th Workday: DIFFERENTIAL

Its function is to transmit the rotation of the gearbox to the wheels.

At first it might seem a simple task, but it must not only transmit the rotation, but should also allow the wheels to turn at different speeds. For example, during cornering, the outside wheel must travel farther than the inside so the outer wheel must go faster to compensate

5th Workday: The SELECTOR

One difference between a Formula 1 car and is that while a traditional gearbox as used by cars produced in series can be passed gears 2 2 3rd to 5th for example.

In the F1 to have a sequential gearbox can not skip any way.
SEAMLESS teams currently use systems that allow change gears without losing the power delivery to the wheels.
For this powerful hydraulic and electronic systems that allow the selector while releasing a march and this meshing the following are used.

4th Workday: marches

The eight gears of f1 are mounted in a longitudinally wheelsets in the car.
The movement input shaft gears are placed where so even some movement (splined shaft) is facilitated by permitting the motor.

The secondary shaft is located above this where the gears (gears which call; of different sizes) finally transmit the motion to the differential.

This is further explained in the final work.

In the next session we will discuss the selector

3rd day of work: CLUTCH

After yesterday have decided to study piece by piece the gearbox of a f1. Today we have made the study of the clutch. The clutch is the part responsible for attaching or detaching the engine from the gearbox by updating an envelope hydraulic clutch discs, which are carbon fiber. embrasgue is the mission of transmitting the movement of the motor to the gearbox. The clutch is only used to start the car, ie, in the pit stops, and output

Second day of work: parts of the gearbox of a f1

The gearbox of a Formula 1 is very similar to that of a normal car except the gear selection mechanism that is controlled by hydraulic and electronic systems, providing these gearboxes great precision.
As in commercial car the gearbox of a Formula 1 has multiple speeds for the engine with the difference that street cars midrange usually currently have 6 gears plus reverse, in Formula 1 from 2014 they are 8-speed plus reverse allowing better use of engine power.
We can be divided into 5 parts:
- The clutch
- Marches
- Selector
- The hydraulic system
- differential
