Unique, patented, design prevents complete loss of drive that occurs with some conventional differentials when one wheel slips Used in all forms of motorsports Never locks, inherently safe Controlled power transmitted to all driving wheels Automatic in operation Eliminates harsh torque steer and understeering characteristics of other types of LSD Gear operated (No plates to wear or break) Benefits all year round, regardless of traction conditions Direct replacement for standard unit Minimal maintenance requirements Ideal where off road capability is useful i.e. Police, Ambulance, Public Utilities Retains normal axle lubrication Available for many different vehicles - new applications continuously being added Sets of floating helical gear pinions mesh to provide normal speed differential action. In the event of wheel slip, torque bias is generated by the axial and radial thrusts of the pinions in the pockets.
The resultant friction force enables the driving road wheel and sun gear to transmit a greater proportion of the torque. This effect is progressive but at no stage does the differential lock hence the inherent safety the Automatic Torque Biasing differential.
The latest competition development of this differential uses pressure pads on the ends of the pinions with which we can vary the amount of slip according to driver preference.
