  Product development internship

  Working as part of a team within research and development department in the project of concept design of hydrostatic transmission. The hydrostatic transmission offers several advantages in construction machinery: delivery of variable output speed from a constant input speed, step less speed change, maximum torque output from minimum power input, and production of maximum torque while stalled. This paper discusses the application of such transmissions to an agricultural tractor to provide a better fuel economy than other transmission units. The greatest advantage of a hydrostatic transmission is the ability to infinitely vary the ground speed transmit high power in compact size. Operates efficiently over a wide range of torque to speed ratio maintains controlled speed (even in reverse direction) regardless of load within the design limit maintains a pre-set speed accurately against driving or braking loads.
