The aim of this study is to design the gearbox of an electric vehicle using the rear-wheel drive. The gearbox is a set of revolving gears and shafts based on programmed torque and rotations per minute (rpm). In this case, safety, strength and durability of gears and shafts was considered. In the narrow vehicle, a light case is used. In addition to gear safety and deflection, the weight of the vehicle was reduced. The electric vehicle reducer gearbox was modeled according to the vehicle room. The strength analysis was conducted using finite element method (FEM). After analyzing the strength using FEM to verify stress distribution, the design was modified, and compared with the results of altered design using FEM. As a result, the reducer gearbox of electric vehicle was designed according to incorporate gear safety, deflection of each gear, durability, and analysis of finite elements followed by test assessment, vehicle installation and the production of real parts.

An essential mechanical element in an industrial machine is a reducer, which transfers the rotation of an electrical motor or engine to another part with amplified torque. Some reducers, such as planetary reduction gears, a harmonic reducer, or a cycloid reducer, have been applied in various industries. Given the increase of demand for reducers with high precision, compact size, and high load capacity for use in industrial robots, the cycloid reducer has stood out. The cycloid reducer, compared with planetary reduction gears, has some merits, which include a larger reduction gear ratio at only one stage, higher durability, improved efficiency, and a larger torque because of its high tooth-contact ratio despite its being small. This paper presents a design technique for a cycloid reducer intended, because of those merits, for use in remote weapons systems of armed vehicles. In order to verify the performance of the cycloid reducer, we carried out experiments and analyzed the results systematically.
