To keep the cars moving regularly, we’ll be looking at the differential in cars today.
As you may have wondered in cars, the differential is an essential part for cars to successfully turn corners.. Differential consists of a small gearbox. This gearbox is located in the middle where the right and left wheels are connected.
When cars turn around bends, the outer wheels should turn at different speeds with the inner wheels. The part that provides this order is called differential.
Differentials are available in 5 types.
-Dynamic Torque Controlled Differentials
-Differentials with locking feature.
-Limited sliding differentials
-Electrically controlled differentials
-Open – Classical Differentials
When a car turns into bends, it moves in a circular arc. If the vehicle turns left on the bend, the left wheels on the road will follow the shorter distance, the right wheels will follow the longer distance, when the vehicle turns right, this time will be the opposite.
As you understand, this gearbox allows cars to rotate efficiently through bends, adjust the speed of the right and left wheels, and turn the car without tipping over when cornering.
In cars, the differential box is located between the right and left two wheels. The connection of the differential to the wheels in cars is connected by a half-toothed shaft. And allows two wheels to move at different speeds.
The differential is located in the gearbox on the front axle in front-wheel drive vehicles. It is located in the middle of the rear axle on vehicles with rear wheel drive. Four-wheel drive vehicles come in three forms, one at the front and one at the rear, and one has a transmission shaft.
The function of the differential is as follows;
- Power is found in the engine.It takes on the task of transferring the power from the engine to the wheels.
- Rotational motion is when the inner wheels of the bend are made at different speeds than the outer wheels.
- Editing the number of laps of the wheels.
- To regulate the rotation speed from the gearbox after the engine.
The differential is an important part in the motion system of cars. This mechanical part that is curious about the car is that the vehicle has a healthy road holding in bends. In addition, Thus, vehicles do not tip over against any danger.
You have learned a little about the differential part, one of the mechanical parts of the car, about which you can research and learn more.
I wish you an informed and enjoyable drive.
