Triple-Cone Synchronizer
Triple-cone SynchronizerCONSTRUCTION
The triple-cone synchronizer has three frictional interfaces - in addition to the two coaxial interfaces between the synchronizer cone and the inner and outer balk rings (which are same as those with a double-cone synchronizer), it has a third frictional interface between the inner surface of the inner balk ring and the cone on the 2nd driven gear. Thanks to an increased friction force, the triple-cone type produces larger synchronizing power than a double-cone type synchronizer. The main components of the triple-cone synchronizer are the outer balk ring, synchronizer cone, inner balk ring, and 2nd driven gear's cone.
