Learning Objectives

• A brief and initial overview of common gear design techniques and best practices,
• Understand the design challenges and constraints an electric motor presents to gear development,
• Extend our understanding of beneficial effects and uses of gear microgeometry to the new EV application,
• Incorporate design and application considerations of bearings, shafts, and seals to development and integration of EV transaxles,
• Appreciate the new, more expansive requirements for the lubricant and coolant,
• Discuss added application requirements and their effect on design and development,
• Summarize design and development requirements as a function of the additional constraints presented by the EV driveline.
