Mechanical Locking Differential

Principle of Operation

• Wheel speed difference (left to right) in excess of 100 RPM will cause a flyweight mechanism to open and engage a latching bracket
• The stopped flyweight will trigger a self-energizing clutch system, which results in the cam plate ramping against a side gear
• Ramping increases until both axles turn at the same speed (full ock), which prevents further wheel slip
• At speeds above 20 mph, the latching bracket swings away from the flyweight mechanism and prevents lockup from occurring.

Benefits

• Improved traction differentiates the vehicle relative to other rear wheel and four wheel drive vehicles on the market
• Functions as a light bias limited slip differential during normal driving conditions; automatically provides full axle lock when needed
• Maintenance free; requires no lube additives
• Enhanced towing and off-road performance
• Patented carbon friction disc technology enhances performance & durability
• Automatic locking takes place within a fraction of a second, so smoothly that it is un-noticed by the average driver
• Once the need for improved traction is gone, unlocking occurs automatically
• Compatible with anti-lock brake systems and vehicle stability systems
