1. differential lock noun
differential lock is a modern word is a proper noun, refers to when a drive wheel slippage, axle locking differential case integrally with the differential action of the differential loss, all of the torque can be transferred to the other side of the drive wheel.
2. Basic introduction differential lock
The differential lock may be regarded as an automatic differential locking function.
For three differentials, the simplest form of full-time drive system, since the differential torque is applied and the like, a vehicle wheel may be due to any loss of adhesion in trouble, especially for those often the vehicle by poor road conditions such as mud. The solution is to use differential lock to lose the driving force of the axle to lock the wheels so that the wheels of power distributional impacts do not occur. Visible maximum differential lock function is to ensure that other drive wheel remains a sufficient driving force can be obtained when the wheel slip.
For full-drive vehicle, the vehicle is equipped with three differential that four wheels may be rotated at respective different speeds and different torques automatically allocated according to their different ground adhesion, to ensure good vehicle driving force. For most of the full-time 4WD vehicle, due to the central differential with, when a wheel slip, the engine will consume all of the power in the slipping wheel, thus to be manually operated this time (there is only the car a key) of the central differential lock the differential case and axle shafts integral locking the differential action of the differential loss, and thus the torque transferred to another drive axle.
forms a differential lock, a common cone-disk form and which is determined by the effect of locking coefficients. Locking means on both sides of axle torque coefficient may differ maximum number of times K, with the locking action of the input torque, the difference increases to increase the torque. Modern electronic differential lock control further adapted to form multiple variations of the conditions of use.
manual mechanical differential lock technology simple, low production costs, but it is still by far the most reliable, the most effective equipment to improve the drive system of a vehicle off-road performance. Two axle power it can achieve complete mechanical binding, very strong. But only use differential lock in bad road conditions or limit state, will use the car in normal driving tires and other parts causing serious damage.

3 disadvantages differential lock
Advantages: In the off-road vehicle can be effectively all wheels the power, in the worst case plight;
drawbacks: a parking state must under the handover.
