4.10 Hydratrak
TM
Limited Slip Differential
The Hydratrak
TM
coupling unit which is a sealed for life, fluid filled cartridge,
houses an inner rotating element which is also splined to the left hand shaft,
thereby interconnecting both axle shafts via the coupling unit. Consequently,
wherever there is any relative wheel speed difference between the left and right
rear driving wheels, there will occur relative movement within the Hydratrak
TM
unit,
which in turn creates hydraulic resistance. Greater torque is then transferred to the
slower rotating wheel in order to provide the vehicle with enhanced stability as well
as tractive ability. This hydraulic resistance also increases as the relative wheel
speed increases, thereby providing a speed sensitive rather than torque sensitive
type of limited slip differential ensuring smooth and progressive operation.
Please Note. In the event of the rear wheels being under difficult tractive
conditions, continued excessive wheel spinning should be avoided to
ensure excessive heat is not generated within the unit which may cause
premature failure.
