    The transfer box is a part of four-wheel drive systems that distributes torque from the engine to all four wheels. It has different functions like receiving power from the transmission and sending it to the front and rear axles. There are different types of transfer boxes like gear-driven, chain-driven, and housing types. It works by connecting the input shaft to different gears which engages the front and rear output shafts in different configurations for two-wheel and four-wheel drive modes.

    TRANSFER BOX

    Transfer box is a part of a four-wheel-drive system used in four-wheel-drive or all-


    wheel drive vehicles. It is also called as “transfer gear case”, “transfer gearbox”,
    “transfer box”, ‘jockey box” or “T-case”. The function of transfer box is to distribute
    the torque generated in engine to all four wheels of the vehicle. The transfer box is
    connected to the engine, front axles and rear axles through drive shafts. This
    shifting mechanism is placed in the transfer case. The transfer gear box is
    controlled by the driver. The control is located in the vehicle compartment. It is
    either in the form of a transfer lever or a button.

    Functions of transfer box :


    (a) It receives power from the transmission and sends to both front and rear axles.
    (b) The on-road transfer case coordinates the difference between rotation of the
    front and rear wheels.
    (c) It locks the front and rear axles mechanically when required.
    (d) It provides low and high range of speeds.

    Types of transfer Box :

    1. Gear-driven type transfer box


    2. Chain-driven type transfer box
    3. Housing type transfer box
    4. Transfer case shift type.

    Construction of Transfer Box :


    • The input shaft is connected to the gear box and carries on it a member having
    axial teeth.
    • Two input shaft gears are free to rotate on the shaft. Each of these gears have
    bosses on the side which have axial teeth of the same pitch as the central
    member on the input shaft.
    • Depending upon the movement of the transfer box gear lever, the central
    member and thereby the input shaft may be connected either to the small gear
    or to the big gear.
    • There are two output shafts, one going to the front axle and the second going to
    the rear axle.
    • The front output shaft is smaller in diameter and is supported inside the rear
    output shaft which is directly connected to the output gear.
    • The front output shaft has fitted on it a shifter mechanism and also has splines
    over a small length of it, which when engage with the corresponding internal
    splines on the rear output shaft, connect the two shafts rotationally with each
    other.

    Working Of Transfer Box :


    When the shifter mechanism A is in the centre so that no gear is connected to the
    input shaft, the drive is in neutral as shown in Fig.i.
    Fig.ii shows when the shifter mechanism A connects the input shaft with the big
    input gear, but the shifter mechanism B disconnects the front output of shaft from
    the rear output shaft. In this position, two-wheel drive with the high gear is
    obtained. In the same way Fig.iii depicts the situation with four wheel drive in low.
