What is the Function of a Central Differential?
1 Answers
The function of a central differential is: when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, it allows the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds, ensuring that both driving wheels perform pure rolling motion. The central differential refers to a component in multi-axle drive vehicles, where the drive axles are connected by drive shafts. To enable each drive axle to potentially have different input angular velocities and eliminate wheel slippage, a central differential can be installed between the drive axles. The main types of central differentials include conventional central differentials, multi-plate clutch central differentials, Torsen central differentials, and viscous coupling central differentials.
