Which is more effective, front lock or rear lock?
1 Answers
The front differential lock and rear differential lock are equally important, and neither can be omitted. The function of the front differential lock is to control the power distribution between the two front wheels, while the rear differential lock controls the power distribution between the two rear wheels. The center differential lock manages the power distribution between the front and rear axles, meaning the distribution between the two front wheels and the two rear wheels. Here is additional information: Function of differential lock: The differential lock's role is to lock the differential housing and the axle shaft into one unit when one driving wheel slips, causing the differential to lose its differential effect and transferring all torque to the other driving wheel. Locking methods: Forced locking, high-friction self-locking, jaw coupling, Torsen, and viscous coupling. Among these, jaw coupling is commonly used in medium and heavy-duty trucks.
