What Sound Does a Differential Noise Make?
1 Answers
Differential noise is a rattling sound. The causes of differential noise include: insufficient lubricant, whether the specified hypoid gear oil is used; improper adjustment of the main and driven gears, resulting in poor gear contact and noise; wear of the main and driven gears, or loose main gear bearings, which fail to effectively restrain the main gear; loose differential bearings; wear of the differential planetary gears, wear of the side gears and washers, etc. Below is an introduction to the differential: 1. Composition of the differential: The automotive differential is a mechanism that allows the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It mainly consists of left and right side gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. 2. Function of the differential: The differential's function is to allow the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, ensuring that both drive wheels perform pure rolling motion.
