Differential Gears Differential gears link two shafts with a covering, forcing the total of the rotational angles of the shafts to be the same as the rotational angles of the covering. Arrangement of the system is done in such a way that one axle turns faster than the other. A bevel gear that permits rotation …
Types of Differential Gears There are two designs of differential gears, hypoid and spiral. Spiral Differential: In spiral differential the pinion gears contacts the ring gears at its centerline . Hypoid Gear: In the hypoid the pinion gear contacts the ring gear below the centerline. The size of pinion gear in hypoid differential is much …
Differential Gears Applications Differential gears in automobiles are the most common application of these gears. When the car is moving in a straight line, there is no movement of the differential gear with respect to its axis but when the car takes a turn then these gears help two wheels of the car to rotate …
Working of a Differential Gear: When a differential gear is meshed with the other gear then the highly efficient torque is applied from the differential side gears to the axle shaft. When torque level decreases then the gear separating forces also decreases allowing the axle shaft to rotate independently. Differential gears can add or subtract …
