The Center differential – this is the most effective method of increasing the patency of any car. Currently, almost all SUVs, including some crossovers are equipped with a data element. Like all other technical mechanisms, the center differential has its pros and cons. In this article we will try to find out how to effectively use this element, and what is its principle of action.centre differential

The Principle of operation and properties of mechanism

At the moment, any modern center differential (Niva 2121, for example, also equipped with them) works in several modes:

  1. Rectilinear movement (automatic).
  2. Slip.
  3. Turns.

The most effective center differential when slippage, which often he is used. When the vehicle encounters a slippery surface, be it ice, Packed snow or dirt, this element is effective at the axis, namely on the wheel. Its working principle is as follows. When one of the wheels falls on a hard surface with good traction, and the second, by contrast, to, say, slippery,  differential begins to transmit the same torque to both drives, that is, the element equals the ‘progresivamente” two wheels to the same value. This allows the car to get out of snowy or polluted stretch of road in seconds. the center differential NivaThe same car in which the center differential is missing, begin to slip – the left wheel moves at the same speed, right – completely different. It turns out that the car is even more buried in the snow or sand. Therefore, the center differential (KAMAZ, by the way, also equipped with them) is an integral part of any vehicle with all-wheel drive. Often the item supplied or army trucks or SUVs domestic, for use in civil environments. Producers have imported the tradition to equip their jeeps differential gradually disappears. It's not that weird – why “German” the center differential, if he lives, it never will not apply! Therefore, among European SUVs was only a single model, which still complement the system.

Thus, the part is like “connects” both wheels, giving them the same torque from the engine, giving the car additional traction for slip.the center differential KAMAZ

Finally, let us note a few of the rules of operation of cars and trucks, equipped with this item.

  1. To ensure that the center differential did not vibrate and did not publish extraneous sounds in action, you can transfer the locked element to the automatic mode.
  2. In the mode of slip is not necessary to change the degree of blocking of the element.
  3. When the car needs towing, you need to translate the transmission lever in neutral position and it is obligatory to change the center differential in the manual mode. For this you need to lower the adjustment wheel shall be made to the lowest position.
