2 Speed Gear Box

After other manufacturers had failed to meet Pioneer Eclipse demanding specifications, they approached ITW Spiroid to develop prototypes and supply production, for this two-speed gearbox, an integral component of their new Dual Speed Electric Buffer.

Challenge

Prototype samples had to be
    fabricated via actual production
    methods for testing, but be
    delivered in a short schedule.

Shiftless technology requires
    precision manufacturing.

High volume economic cost targets.

Development

Working with ITW Spiroid engineers and suppliers, from the concept phase, DiMonte Group Inc. designed this gearbox in 3D CAD. Suppliers worked from our CAD database to produce tooling and production level prototypes.

Design for Manufacture

We researched and specified all components, bearings, and seals, and documented the design for manufacturing.

Cost of Goods Reduction

After the prototypes were approved, we worked with suppliers to further reduce costs, and still exceed the clients specifications.
