Abstract

The research for ‘Projek Sarjana Muda (PSM)’ is about design optimization on power train system for fire fighting machine, which is to improve drivetrain of UTeM’s Fire Fighter Machine, known as The UFFM (UTeM Fire Fighter Machine). Since the UFFM is still under research and development (R&D), there are several matters have been discovered, that can be improved; after inspecting the machine. The main problems are low maximum speed and slow turning. For this study, the improvement of power train on the UFFM is focused in order to meet the objective and scope. On the existing design, UFFM uses one motor and one transmission where the power is transferred to the rubber track. While turning, the transmission will deactivate inner side drive shaft of the machine. The objective of this project is to study the drive train mechanism and design improvement the power train system of the UFFM. Besides that, the existing drive train is reworked and enables the machine to move more accurately. The scope of this research is focused on the machine’s drive train, which is to make the steer process smooth and quick. Based on previous study, the implementation of two motors is more effective. Thus, the dual motor drive setup will be carried further with suitable design and mountings, and improve the steering system.
