Hydraulic differential-locking system - has pumps in closed circuit driven by half-shafts each side of differential

摘要

The hydraulic braking and differential-locking system incorporates a hydraulic pump (1) coupled to each half-shaft (2) at the sides of a conventional differential unit (4). The pumps can be interconnected by pipes (3) so as to form a closed circuit, and the pipes can be connected together by a ebalancer pipe (5) containing a valve (6), which is shut to lock the differential. ADVANTAGE - Particularly for vehicles with front-wheel drive, allowing steering during braking.
