What are the differences between a differential lock and a differential?
1 Answers
The differences between a differential lock and a differential are as follows: 1. Different functions: The differential lock locks the machine 100%, while the differential allows a certain differential response. The main function of the differential is to create a speed difference between the two wheels to ensure stability during cornering. The role of the differential lock is to lock the differential, eliminating the speed difference between the two wheels and preventing the vehicle from slipping. 2. Different uses: The differential lock is mostly used for climbing and off-roading, while the differential is mostly used for track racing (such as touring car racing). However, some off-road vehicles use differentials for Dakar rallies, and racing cars use them for extreme drifting.
