Differential Gear Sets
The differential is a mechanism that balances the speed between the two wheels on an axle, which is crucial for smooth cornering where the wheels on the inside and outside of the turn rotate at different speeds. Located on the rear axle, it allows the rear wheels to rotate at different rates and enhances torque distribution. The differential transmits motion from the drive shaft to the axles by rotating 90 degrees. For instance, when turning right, the right rear wheel should rotate less and the left rear wheel more in a rear-wheel drive vehicle. If both wheels rotate at the same rate, it can hinder turning ability and potentially damage the chassis or axle. The differential is a mechanical gear system that adapts to this need, adjusting power distribution based on driving conditions. Our company manufactures differentials tailored to specific axle distances and gear ratios according to customer specifications.
