Limited slip differential

I want to introduct something about Laboratory Fittings & Hardware. PMR laboratory hardware includes quality faucets, gas fittings, sinks and pegboards that are specifically designed and manufactured for use in chemical laboratories. Laboratory Fittings & Hardwa Cone Type LSD (not described in article)A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.Contents1 Early history 2 Benefits 3 Types 3.1 Torque-sensitive 3.1.1 Clutch type - driveshaft torque activated 3.1.1.1 Characteristics 3.1.1.2 Mechanism 3.1.1.3 Servicing 3.1.2 Geared torque-sensitive differential 3.2 Speed-sensitive 3.2.1 Viscous 3.2.2 Gerotor pump 3.2.3 Electronic 3.3 Other related final drives 3.3.1 Spool 3.3.2 Locking differential (Detroit Locker/Lokka) 3.3.3 Selectable locker 4 Factory names 5 References 6 External links // Early historyIn 1932, Ferdinand Porsche designed a Grand Prix racing car for the Auto Union company. The high power of the design caused one of the rear wheels to experience excessive wheel spin at any speed up to 100 MPH. In 1935, Porsche commissioned the engineering firm ZF to design a limited slip differential that would perform better[citation needed].BenefitsThe main advantage of a limited slip differential is shown by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freelyhe torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, and thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use, such as driving in mud, off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the angular velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some traction available on at least one of the wheels.TypesTwo main types of LSD are commonly used on passenger cars; torque sensitive (geared or clutch-based) and speed sensitive (viscous/pump and clutch pack). The latter is gaining popularity especially in modern all-wheel drive vehicles, and generally requires less maintenance than the mechanical type.Torque-sensitiveThe use of the word mechanical implies that the limited slip differential is engaged by interaction between two (or more) mechanical parts. This category includes clutch and helical limited slip differentials. For road racing, many prefer a helical limited slip differential, because it does not lock the two output shafts to spin at the same rate, but rather biases torque to the wheel with more grip by up to 80%.Clutch type - driveshaft torque activatedCharacteristicsZF LSD - clutch stack visible on leftZF LSD - spider pinion shaft ramps visibleThe clutch-type LSD responds to driveshaft torque. The more driveshaft input torque present, the harder the clutches are pressed together, and thus the more closely the drive wheels are coupled to each other. With no / little input torque (trailing throttle/gearbox in neutral/main clutch depressed) the drive wheels are still coupled somewhat as the clutches are always in contact to some degree, producing friction. The amount of preload (hence static coupling) on the clutches is determined by the general condition (wear) of the clutches and by how tightly they are shimmed.Broadly speaking, there are three input torque states: load, no load, and over run. Under load, as previously stated, the coupling is proportional to the input torque. With no load, the coupling is reduced to the static coupling. The behaviour on over run (particularly sudden throttle release) determines whether the LSD is 1 way, 1.5 way, or 2 way.If there is no additional coupling on over run, the LSD is 1 way. This is a safer LSD, as soon as the driver lifts the throttle, the LSD unlocks and behaves somewhat like a conventional open differential. This is also the best for FWD cars, as it allows the car to turn in on throttle release, instead of ploughing forward.If the LSD increases coupling in the same way regardless of whether the input torque is forwards or reverse, it is a 2 way differential. Some drifters prefer this type as the LSD behaves the same regardless of their erratic throttle input, and lets them keep the wheels spinning all the way through a corner.
