What is a Transfer Transmission Assembly?

A Transfer Transmission Assembly is that part of the mechanism of a vehicle which distributes engine torque from the transmission and provides a means to transfer it, usually, to the front and rear driving axles.

What is a Driving Automotive Axle Assembly?

A Driving Automotive Axle Assembly (AXLE ASSEMBLY,AUTOMOTIVE,DRIVING) is a device suspended between and connecting opposite wheels. It supports the weight of a vehicle, and consists of the housing and axles, and may include the driving differential mechanism.

What is a Transmission Fluid Cooler?

A Transmission Fluid Cooler (COOLER,FLUID,TRANSMISSION) is an apparatus designed to lower the temperature of the fluid in power transmission equipment by bringing it into proximity with another fluid of lower temperature so that heat transfer is effected by conduction through the walls of separating chambers. Excludes air conditioning equipment, refrigeration equipment, and radiators.

What is an Automotive Axle Shaft?

An Automotive Axle Shaft (SHAFT,AXLE,AUTOMOTIVE) is a shaft which is a component of AXLE ASSEMBLY, AUTOMOTIVE, DRIVING, used to transmit rotary motion from the differential assembly either directly or indirectly to the wheel hubs. Excludes shafts with a universal joint or a component of a universal joint attached to it.

What is a Vehicular Hydraulic Transmission?

A Vehicular Hydraulic Transmission (TRANSMISSION,HYDRAULIC,VEHICULAR) is a device used on vehicular power transmission components to increase torque and/or change ratios between the drive and driven shaft or shafts by the medium of liquid under pressure within the unit. It may include a manual means for reversing rotation and changing speed ranges. Excludes TRANSMISSION, CROSS-DRIVE; and transmissions with controlled differentials.

What is a Vehicular Propeller Shaft?

A Vehicular Propeller Shaft (PROPELLER SHAFT,VEHICULAR) is a vehicular item with a yoke on one or both ends. The yoke(s) may include a spider. If only one yoke, the opposite end may have a shaft or tube. For items with a universal joint see PROPELLER SHAFT WITH UNIVERSAL JOINT (as modified). Also see YOKE, UNIVERSAL JOINT (as modified). For rotary wing aircraft, see PROPELLER SHAFT, ROTARY WING AIRCRAFT.

What is a Vehicular Mechanical Transmission?

A Vehicular Mechanical Transmission (TRANSMISSION,MECHANICAL,VEHICULAR) is a vehicular device designed to increase, decrease, and/or reverse the rotation between the drive and driven shaft or shafts. It may or may not include the shifting control mechanism which changes ratios and/or direction of rotation. Excludes TRANSMISSION, CROSS-DRIVE and transmissions with controlled differentials.

NATO Supply Class 2520 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 25, which is dedicated to Vehicular Equipment Components. Specifically, Class 2520 focuses on Vehicular Power Transmission Components.

Vehicular Power Transmission Components refer to the various parts and systems that are responsible for transmitting power from the engine to the wheels of a vehicle. These components play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and movement of the vehicle.

Some examples of Vehicular Power Transmission Components that fall under NATO Supply Class 2520 include:

1. Transmissions: These are mechanical devices that transmit power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to change gears and transfer torque.

2. Transfer Cases: Transfer cases are used in four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles to distribute power between the front and rear wheels. They allow for smooth transitions between different driving modes.

3. Axles: Axles are shafts that connect the wheels to the vehicle's transmission or differential. They transmit power from the transmission to the wheels, allowing for rotation and movement.

4. Drive Shafts: Drive shafts are responsible for transmitting torque from the transmission to the wheels. They connect the transmission to the axles and allow for power transfer.

5. Differentials: Differentials are gear mechanisms that allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds while still receiving power from the transmission. They are essential for smooth turning and maneuvering of the vehicle.

These are just a few examples of the Vehicular Power Transmission Components that fall under NATO Supply Class 2520. The classification helps in organizing and categorizing these components for procurement and supply chain purposes within NATO.

FSC 2520 Vehicular Power Transmission Components - Norway (NO)

Includes Transfer Transmission Assemblies; Clutch Assemblies; Universal Joints; Propeller Shafts; Automotive Torque Converters; Power Takeoffs.

Note-The term "vehicular" as delimited for group 25, is applicable to those vehicles and tractors included in groups 23 and 24, construction vehicles included in group 38, and warehouse trucks, tractors, and trailers included in group 39. It does not apply to railway vehicles (group 22), aircraft (group 15), or watercraft (group 19). An item of supply which is a "vehicular" component, within the scope delimited above, is classified in this group regardless of whether it has additional applications on vehicles outside the delimitations for this group.
