What is the function of the central differential?
1 Answers
The function of the central differential is: when the car turns or drives on uneven roads, it allows the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds, ensuring that both driving wheels perform rolling motion. It is a device designed to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels. Automotive differentials are classified into gear-type differentials and anti-slip differentials based on their working characteristics. The types of differentials include: gear-type, anti-slip type, double-worm type, central type, LSD type, and Torsen differential. The automotive differential is a mechanism that enables the left/right or upper/lower drive wheels to rotate at different speeds, consisting of left/right half-shaft gears, planetary gears, and a gear carrier.
