New control system concept for the tank transmission with two planetary gearboxes
Zlatomir Živanović Goran Jerkin
A new concept of transmission control system for high-speed tracked vehicles with two planetary gearboxes has been realized and named GC TRONIC. It is based on the use of electrohydraulic parts, with the microcontroller as an electronic control device. The sistem provides an automatic and controlled gear change process under load, without using the main clutch*) except for starting the vehicle. This paper gives the basic information about this system and reviews the gear change output characteristics achieved on the test stand with real transmission.
Key words: tracked vehicle, transmission, automatization, microcontroller, GC TRONIC system.
