Study of Materials, Costs and Processes Involved in Critical Components for Infinitely Variable Transmission System

The Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) system is designed to study the various characteristics like Torque, Power and Efficiency across the Speed. The components from IVT are designed with the considerations of various factors like material, cost, ease of manufacturing and the reliability of the system. The basic design of the IVT system and its components are done with the 3D modeling software CATIA V5 R20 version. The drawings created for the each and every component for the manufacturing to assemble the IVT experimental setup. This study explains the costs analysis of the IVT, manufacturing processes involved for the critical parts of the IVT. The main objective for this study is for better optimization of costs, raw material, manufacturing processes and time. As per the bill of material, standard parts purchased and main components of IVT manufactured with suitable processes
