CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION
With a conventional’ differential, in the event that ‘one wheel
of the vehicle is on ice, mud, or some other slippery surface,
the wheel will spin and the drive force of the vehicle will be
greatly reduced. If this happens, the speeds of the differ-
ential case and of the side gear (axle shaft) are different
because of differential operation. The limited slip func-
tion acts to limit this differential operation. The construc-
tion is shown in the illustration, The multi-plate clutches
engage with the differential case and with each of the differ-
ential side gears. If spinning causes a differenece in com-
ponent speeds, the frictional force between the clutch plates
will cause the speed of the differential side gear to become
closer to that of the differential case, and thus the limited
slip function will control the spinning, In addition, the
purpose of the pressure rings inside the differential case
is to transmit the driving force to the pinion gear, and the
reason for the separation is to provide an increase in the
clutch plate pressing force through the leverage of the pinion
shaft.
