NVH. Noise, vibration, harshness. Every powertrain engineer's worst enemy. So how do you make an electric motor and gearbox quiet? Bimotal is by no means an expert in this domain, but we're getting better at it day by day. Doing a spectral analysis and understanding what order key frequencies occur at helps us root cause. For example, if the motor is spinning at 3600 rpm (60 Hz), and we have harsh noise at 600 Hz, that's a 10th order problem. If it happens that our first stage gear has 10 teeth on it, you can hypothesize that that gear mesh has something to do with the noise. We've learned a ton in the last year and are continuing to build up this domain expertise. Comment if you know good tactics we should get on our radar as we work to make silent, light, and punchy e-drives!

As vehicles with electric motors get mass adoption, innovations in wear and tear but also comfort, find their way into the industry
Our engineers developed a clever solution to the disturbances typically caused by planetary gearboxes in electric vehicles. The Vibracoustic Elastic Ring Gear mitigates high-frequency excitations like ‘torque ripple’ – the vibrations that are transmitted to the gearbox housing from the e-motor. This tuneable rubber ring offers multi-directional decoupling (radial, axial, and torsional) for a wide range of sound-pressure reductions, ideal for optimizing NVH in electric vehicles.

Steering wheel vibration and drive shaft being the reason , what end of driveshaft joint is responsible for vibration and noise ? As I looked underside of vehicle and checked the two ends of drive shaft . The end towards wheel was intact (which if would had play could create noise instead of vibration) . The other end which is fixed on gear side had the play . This will definitely create vibration as harmonics at different speeds , noticeable on test drive.

The quest for quieter gears never ends, especially in the era of EVs and customer demanding quieter equipment. Apart from the normal gear micro-geometry, shaft mis-alignments and influence of bearings, companies are exploring flank waviness contributing to the NVH. The paper from the esteemed Dr. Kissling bares some interesting aspects on the topic.
