The differential assembly parts is an important part of the four wheeler.
While taking a turn, the outer wheel needs to cover more distance than the
inner wheel. So it needs more angular speed than the inner wheels. The
differentials are used to fulfill such requirements.
The differential is located in the middle of the rear axle
and transmits power to both the wheels. It transmits power in a direction
perpendicular to the driving shaft. The rpm difference generated by a
differential is proportional to each other.
The differential assembly parts include- Flange,
Pinion Gear, Side Gear, Ring Gear, Left Axle Shaft, Right Axle Shaft and Spider
Gears. The function and working of these parts are given below:
The power to the differential is transferred through the
differential shaft which contains pinion gears at one end. The pinion gear
meshes with the ring gear and transfers its power to ring gear. The ring gear
contains two spider gears hinged with it. These spider gears have two degrees
of freedom and rotate along two directions. The side gears are attached to the
right and left axle shafts and transfer an equal amount of torque to both
wheels. All these gears are engaged to transfer power in the perpendicular
direction.
Summary: - The differential consists of only two
things- gears and shafts. The number of differential assembly parts is assembled to transmit an equal
amount of torque to wheels in a perpendicular direction to the driving shaft.
The differential deactivates while moving along a straight path.
