What are the functions of the CT5 rear axle limited-slip differential?
1 Answers
The functions of the rear axle limited-slip differential: 1. The limited-slip differential is designed to restrict the speed difference between the two tires. Regardless of the type of drive system, almost every vehicle is equipped with a differential. This allows the tires to automatically adjust their rotation speeds when the car turns, accommodating the different lengths of the turning paths and ensuring smooth cornering. 2. Differentials are widely used in civilian vehicles, and their function is simple: to help the driver achieve differential speeds between the left and right wheels. During a turn, the outer wheel must rotate faster than the inner wheel. The differential distributes the rotational speed through planetary gears, ensuring the car can complete the turn smoothly and comfortably. 3. When the vehicle turns, due to centrifugal force, the outer tire is pressed down while the inner tire is lifted. Naturally, the friction of the outer tire is greater than that of the inner tire. At this point, the differential will allocate more power to the inner tire.
