In fact, our study shows that using a 2-speed results in higher torque at the rear axle across the board, both low vehicle speeds and high vehicle speeds. You can see that in the figure below ...

There's a wide differential ... rear drive-module, though it works markedly differently and is used for low-speed crawling). That said, it's not uncommon to find such vacuum-controlled two-speed ...

The difference is this: Instead of being connected via a long driveshaft to the rear axle ... a differential between them. (On slippery surfaces the tire slippage compensates for the wheel-speed ...

Without the differential, the car or the axle(s) would try to force the car to go straight because both tires (per axle) would be turning at the exact same speed...or you could say they are locked ...

While there are differences between a front-wheel-drive and rear ... an axle, and a differential. While the transmission and driveshaft essentially modulate the difference between engine speed ...

AxTrax 2 integrates a single motor, inverter, ECU, actuator and a three-speed transmission. It's designed for a broader range of applications from single-axle to 6x4 (Class 3-8). It delivers 210 ...

Pioneered in 1954 by Mickey Thompson‘s Panorama City Special, slingshots situated the driver behind the rear axle, increasing ... While testing an experimental two-speed transmission in his ...

from dynamic engine mounts to an adaptable suspension and speed-sensitive steering. A very important component that unjustly gets the rear seat all too often is the rear axle differential.

In this driving mode, the SUV can reach a maximum speed of over 81 mph ... vectoring system between the two axles, as well as an electronic rear differential. Both systems are designed and ...
