What is the purpose of a rear axle differential lock?
1 Answers
Here are the specific functions of a rear axle differential lock: 1. Enhanced off-road capability: The central rear axle differential lock is designed to improve a vehicle's ability to traverse poor road conditions. When one drive axle loses traction, it can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. 2. Torque distribution: It transfers most or even all of the torque to the non-slipping drive axle, fully utilizing its grip to generate sufficient traction, allowing the vehicle to continue moving. 3. Differential function: It prevents the vehicle from being unable to move or escape when one set of wheels slips or is off the ground, causing the other set to spin uselessly.
