We have known the differential and the differential lock before. The differential is in normal turning (because the turning radius of the left and right wheels is different, so the running speed of the tire is different), and in order to avoid the two wheels running at the same speed. The resulting component; the differential lock is a mechanism that forcibly locks the differential when there is a tire idling in the off-road and affects the passing performance.
These two components believe that you have some understanding before, if you have not, you can understand the two concepts mentioned above. Today we are talking about the limited slip differential, which has both the characteristics of the differential and the characteristics of a part of the differential lock. It can limit the difference in speed between the left and right tires, avoiding the single side wheel sliding all the time, but it will not Unifying the speeds on both sides, it is very helpful to pass the curve quickly when cornering at high speed.
As shown in the GIF diagram above, if the one-sided tire idling, the power will be concentrated to the idle tires to do nothing, while the right tires will not get the driving force.
Going back to the original question, ask again, what is a limited slip differential?
We just talked about the role and performance of the limited slip differential, but did not elaborate on the structure of the limited slip differential. Let's introduce the limited slip differentials and their characteristics that are common on the market.
Simply put, the limited-slip differential is divided into two categories, mechanical and electronic, electronically better understand, through the computer control brake system, once there is slipping phenomenon, immediately brake the skid wheel, this set The system is equipped in many cars, and even many timely four-wheel drive systems use such technology. The limited-slip effect is not mechanically good. I won't go into details here.
The mechanical limited slip differential can be divided into 1way, 1.5way and 2way from the direction of the action direction.
See the above picture (the enlarged view on the right). The left and right tires rotate differently when turning, and the cross shaft (red) will be pressed toward the green part, so that the pressure ring will expand to the left and right, and then the friction plates on both sides will rub, thus correcting the rotation of the left and right tires. difference. LSD is the process by which the two wheels are equally driven.
â–³ The picture quality is not good, please forgive me.
Comments: Through this article, I believe that you have a certain understanding of the LSD limited slip differential, through the physical control of the way to achieve faster cornering driving, which is the result of every lap running driver wants. Of course, many people in the civilian car use LSD. For example, the BMW M3 E92 factory is equipped with LSD. It is believed that LSD will give the driver more confidence and achievements.
