Mechanical Limited Slip Differential - mLSD
The mechanical LSD is a robust and proven solution for enhancing traction and stability. It automatically distributes torque between the drive wheels based on mechanical resistance, maximizing torque transmission in all driving situations without the need for electronic control. The helical gear architecture provides long-lasting, consistent performance that does not rely on wearing slip clutches. Ideal for performance, off-road, and commercial vehicles, as it offers reliable, autonomous operation.
Highlights
- Innovative solutions for low viscosity lubricants and e-axles
- Durable against high torque loading and high-power differentiation
- Provides torque biasing when needed without electronics or slip clutches
Advantages
- Enhances grip during cornering, acceleration, or on slippery surfaces
- Requires only the relative motion of internal gears in delta wheel speed situations
- Robust and service-friendly thanks to fewer components than active systems, outlasting other types of mechanical LSDs and operating more consistently over-time
- More affordable than electronically controlled or torque vectoring systems
Features
- Distributes torque between drive wheels based on traction conditions
- Operates without electronics or sensors
- Differentiates automatically based on wheel speed or allowable torque transfer
- Easily integrated into existing driveline architectures, regardless of propulsion method
- Built for long-term reliability under high loads
