The Bendix is a popular name for a gonnex consisting of a gear and a mechanical device protecting the starter from the impact of a wavelength of the flywheel.
Bendix Corporation was founded in Chicago in 1907 for the production of Bendix Bugs. The Case of the Crash
Some are incorrectly referred to as the "bendix" of the starter motor that rotates the flywheel when the engine is started. In fact, the main part of the bendix is a rift that allows the gears to rotate in one direction with a flywheel at unlimited speed.
The History of Bendix
The name of the detail came from the name of her inventor, Vincent Bendix. The device, which was dubbed "Bendix drive", and "localized" by the Russian drivers, was used to draw the starter's shaft from the engine's flywheel without damage when it reached a certain speed. The automotive industry has been in use since 1916. Since then, the site has remained unchanged.
Bendix device and principle
The bendix principle is familiar to anyone who has ever disassembled the back of a bicycle. The fans of two-wheeled vehicles call the nonna muff a "crack". A characteristic sound is the "dog" of a ratchet, recounting from one of the teeth to the other.
In a bendix installed in the vehicle start-up casing, the wheel drive shaft is not linked to the anchor of the starter in 100% rigid construction. When the engine is plugged and the load on the shaft does not, it is free to rotate inside the clip (so called "outer ring") with a number of nozzles. There are spring-loaded clips between the clip and the clip. When the speed of rotation of anchors (that is, when you turn on the starter) is increased, the rollers shall be actuated in the narrow part of the paz and the actuation of the anchor shall be transferred to the drive gear. After the engine is started, the reverse process occurs-the rollers are moved to the wide area of the puzzle, blurrating the contact between the clip and the shaft. When this happens, the retractor pushes the gears freely.
Features of the starter's bendix
The simplicity of the Bendix design does not mean, therefore, intricate breakdowns. The main cause of damage to this node is the details of the details. The gears of the gears and rollers having a significant impact load at the start of the starter are the most exposed to wear and tear. The solution to the bendix is easy to diagnose. "Wire slip" does not allow sufficient speed of rotation of the gears, and the starter works "idle"-flywheel or does not rotate at all or rotate slowly.
A mechanism similar to the bendix construction is actively used in the construction of helicopter screws
In case of a failure of the bendix, it is better to replace it completely, since all the load-experiencing elements are worn away proportionally, and the replacement of one of the components does not guarantee the long and reliable operation of the device as a whole.
Interesting facts about the starter's bendix
Curiously, the same type of bendix is used in manual gearboxes. Periodically, the situation is when the car is driven by a roll, for example, when descending from the mountain. In this case, the shaft or actuators (in the case of an overdrive vehicle) start to rotate faster than the gear engaged at the moment and attempt to spin the engine crankshaft. In the case of a two-stroke engine (i.e. the engines used, for example in the early models of the Saab), the process could be disastrous, as the crush-shaper engine of these engines is lubricated by the oil entering the combustion chamber with the petrol. The sharp increase in the speed without touching the accelerator pedal and the increase in the volume of the intake of petrol with petrol can lead to oil fasting and pistons. In these situations, the engine protects the built-in mechanism in the ICVA, which is in effect on the same principle of the obsession couplings as bendix.
The Bendix Corporation manufactured popular washing machines in the US
By the way, the same Saab company, finally switching four-stroke engines at the creation of the Saab 96 V4 and Saab 99 models, left the overrun muff in the gearbox, but for other reasons, for fuel economy.
The same principle was found in the mechanical transmission of other motor vehicles. For example, in the luxury pre-invasion cars of Cord, the gearbox was used not only to save fuel, but also to reduce the noise from the engine during coast-down. At the same time, if the engine has to be stopped, the coupling of the coupling of the coupling box with the crankshaft is held to ensure that the brake is fully clutch in the engine cranking.
In the very first Land Rover SUVs that had been released from 1948 to 1951, the overpass mug was installed in front of the shaft passing torque to the front axle reductor. With this part, the front axle of this fixed-drive vehicle was switched off if the front axle was flattled faster than the front axle and was reconnected when the axis rotation speed was equable.
