<p>TORQUE SPLITTING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES A torque splitting device (12) capable for use in a four wheel drive road vehicle has two coupled epicyclic differential devices providing the two outputs and connected respectively with a torque input shaft (30), which may be driven by a vehicle gearbox and a control shaft (35). The control shaft is driven from the input shaft (35) by way of an infinitely variable ratio drive means comprising a fixed displacement hydrostatic motor (51) coupled with a variable displacement hydrostatic pump (50) which is controlled by signals from a control unit (50). The unit (60) may be responsive to signals representing vehicle control and/or experience.</p> |
