What are the main components of the differential?What is the role?
The differential is a part of the power end of the car. Although few people know it, the differential is indispensable in the daily driving of the car. What are the components of the differential and what is the role of the differential?
1.The differential of an automobile is mainly composed of three parts, one is the half-shaft gear, the second is the planetary gear, and the third is the gear carrier.
2.The function of the differential is to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels of the car.
3.In short, when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, the differential can make the left and right wheels roll at different speeds, thus ensuring that the driving wheels on both sides can do pure rolling movement.
4.When the differential is abnormal, the rotation speed of the left and right wheels will be different, and the wheels will roll and slide while driving.
5.This will accelerate tire wear and increase the bearing stress of the axle. If it is serious, it will cause mechanical damage, and the maintenance cost is very high.
