Aktiveerimiskäigusedele

Aktiivimiskäigusedele translates to activation gears in English. This term is primarily used in the context of automatic transmissions, particularly in older or less complex designs. When a vehicle's transmission is in an activated state, the activation gears are engaged to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. These gears are a critical component of the system that allows for smooth and controlled movement.

The concept of activation gears is linked to the mechanical engagement and disengagement of different gear sets within the transmission. In an automatic transmission, a hydraulic system or electronic control unit determines when these gears should be activated based on factors such as vehicle speed, engine load, and driver input. The activation process involves precisely meshing specific gears to achieve the desired gear ratio.

The term itself emphasizes the dynamic nature of these gears; they are not static but actively brought into operation to facilitate movement. In simpler terms, they are the components that "kick in" or "engage" to make the car go. While modern transmissions have evolved with more sophisticated mechanisms like torque converters and planetary gear sets, the fundamental principle of activating specific gear configurations to alter the power transfer remains. Therefore, aktiivimiskäigusedele refers to the gears responsible for enabling the transmission's operational states.
