What is the purpose of a synchronizer? Describe the three stages of synchronization.

What will be an ideal response?


The purpose of a synchronizer is to bring components that are rotating at different speeds to one synchronized speed. It also serves to lock these parts together.

Synchronization occurs in three stages:

Stage 1: the movement of the synchronizer sleeve causes the inserts to place light pressure on the blocking ring onto the cone of the gear

Stage 2: the sleeve contacts the blocking ring teeth and this causes additional friction between the ring and the speed gear cone

Stage 3: the synchronizer ring completes its fit over the gear cone and the gear is brought up to the same speed as the synchronizer assembly
