Advantages of Torsen Differential

What is a Torsen differential?

Torsen differential
A Torsen differential, which stands for Torque-Sensing differential, is a type of limited-slip differential found in vehicles. It uses a worm gear mechanism to sense and respond to differences in torque between the wheels. When one wheel starts to slip, the Torsen differential transfers more torque to the wheel with better traction. This helps improve stability and handling, especially on slippery surfaces. Unlike standard open differentials, which can allow one wheel to spin freely when it loses traction, a Torsen differential continuously provides torque to both wheels. This ensures better grip and control. The torque transfer is smooth and immediate, without relying on electronic sensors or clutches, making the system both reliable and efficient. Additionally, its mechanical design enhances durability and longevity, making it a valuable component for improving vehicle performance and safety.

Advantages of Torsen Differential

Constant and continuous torque control management

The Torsen differential achieves constant and continuous torque control management. It works continuously without time delay, but does not intervene in the adjustment of the total torque output, so there is no torque loss. It has greater advantages than traction control and body stability control systems. Because there is no multi-plate clutch equipped with a traditional self-locking differential, there is no wear and tear, and maintenance-free is achieved. Mechanical LSD has good reliability.

Compatible with any transmission and transfer case

Compatible with other safety control systems. The Torsen differential can be matched with any transmission and transfer case, and is compatible with other vehicle safety control systems such as ABS, TCS (Traction Control System), and SCS (Stability Control System). The Torsen differential is a purely mechanical structure that takes effect as soon as the wheel slips, and it has a linear locking characteristic. This design can quickly respond to the torque difference between the drive wheels and adjust the torque output to solve the problem of wheel difference. The locking characteristic is also very linear and can be adjusted within a relatively wide torque range without being affected by the differential case structure space and limiting the effect.

Mechanical limited slip differential is reliable and durable

The Torsen limited slip differential is a fully automatic purely mechanical limited slip differential that is very reliable, durable, and responsive. From some perspectives, it is a very balanced design. It can respond to the torque difference between the drive wheels in a very short time, adjust the torque output to solve the problem of wheel difference, and the locking characteristics are also very linear, and can be adjusted within a relatively wide torque range without being limited by the differential case structure space.
