TRE0071A
The limited slip differential lock (LIM--SLIP) is a two
planetery pinion type, complete with two multi--disc
clutch blocks fitted between the planetery pinions
and the differential box.
This differential lock device is totally automatic,
requires no manual operation and notably reduces
(without completely eliminating) wheel slipping that
may result fom tractor grip loss.
The difference in revolutions between the planetary
pinions and the differential box, when a wheel begins
LIM- -SLIP DIFFERENTIAL LOCK (OPTIONAL)
to slip as a result of grip loss, is obstructed by the
clutch blocks that are compressed by axial thrust
from the torque transmitted to the planetary pinions
by the bevel gear pairs, by means of the teeth on the
two planetary pinions.
The torque may differ according to the condition of te
ground, thereby proportionally varying the axial
thrust on the clutch blocks, consolidating the
planetary pinions with the differential box which
results in the axle being able to successfully
overcome the difficult ground conditions.
