Encyclopedia > Synchronizer (automotive)

Synchronizers are used in manual transmissions (gearboxes) in automobiles built since about 1960 to ease shifting gears by synchronizing the teeth speed prior to engagement. They allow the toothed collar and the gear to be brought to the same rotational speed before the teeth make contact. They consist of a soft metal (usually brass) cone attached to the gear that makes frictional contact with a cone-shaped cavity in the collar before the teeth are engaged.

Synchromesh transmission suited for use as an automotive automatic transmission - Patent 4823628 (2889 words)
A synchronizer 50 is arranged at the end of the second intermediate shaft 16 for selectively engaging one of the third speed ratio and fifth speed ratio input gears 22, 46.
In preparation for a 1-2 shift the synchronizer 52 is moved to engage the output gear 54 with the output shaft 26.
To perform a 1-3 upshift, the synchronizer 76 is conditioned to couple the third speed ratio input gear 22 to the second intermediate shaft 16 whereafter the clutch 20 is coupled and the clutch 72 uncoupled.
Radar subsystems (1705 words)
The synchronizer is often referred to as the "heart" of the radar system because it controls and provides timing for the operation of the entire system.
As in the sine-wave synchronizer, the negative trigger pulses are removed by means of a negative-lobe limiter, and the positive pulses are applied to the transmitter.
In the single-swing, blocking-oscillator synchronizer, shown in view C of figure 2-2, a free-running, single-swing blocking oscillator is generally used as the master oscillator.
