What Does a Central Differential Lock Mean?
1 Answers
Central differential lock, also known as central differential locker, is a locking mechanism installed on the central differential, used in four-wheel-drive vehicles. The following is an introduction to the central differential lock: 1. The function of the central differential lock is to improve the vehicle's ability to pass through bad road conditions, meaning when one of the vehicle's drive axles spins freely, it can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. 2. Different differentials use different locking methods. Common differential locks generally include the following types of locking methods: forced locking, high-friction self-locking, jaw coupling, Torsen, and viscous coupling.
