Differential lock

Differential lock In alternative to the standard open differential, we can supply axles with a 100% locking device , complete with a hydraulic servo system and supplied with inductive proximity sensors able to check the correct insertion of the locking. Or alternative we can have limited slip differential, with a predetermined torque percentage limit, up to 45% or 60%. The main advantage of a limited-slip differential or a differential lock is in off-roading or snow situations. In such a case with a standard differential, the slipping or non-contacting wheel will receive the majority of the power, while the contacting wheel will remain stationary with respect to the ground, because the torque in an open differential will always be equal at both wheels. In this situation, a limited-slip differential or a locking system prevents excessive power from being allocated to one wheel, and so keeps both wheels in powered rotation.
