CHESTNUTXE 7,354 Posted June 4, 2016 Will a open wheel centre provide equal power to each wheel on a normal take off or under load ,i no that 1 wheel spins when it loses traction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banno 479 Posted June 4, 2016 Yes till wheels either goes around corner or one wheel looses traction then power will transfer to a sense to that wheel and less to the other. Hope that makes sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banno 479 Posted June 4, 2016 Someone on here could probably explain better than I could but thats my understanding of single spinners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,354 Posted June 4, 2016 yeah i always wonderd why so many utes ,vans and rv's and cars only had a single legger diff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted June 4, 2016 Yeah Banno pretty much has it, torque is equal on both sides as resistance is equal (ie the tyre driving the road) but as soon as that drive or friction is lost, so is the motivating force on that wheel. Think of it like two kids of equal weight balancing on a see-saw. The sum of the downward forces is equal to the opposing net force on the pivot. As soon as one kid decides to jump off, the opposing force is no longer supported by the beam. Now think of the two kids as the wheels and the pivot as the planetary spider gears. Whilever there is traction at both wheels (regardless of speed), the force is always equal to them. 2 SirkWhyXF and stockesp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,354 Posted June 4, 2016 ok sweet i always just thought that 1 wheel like the drivers side had all the power going to it under normal acceleration ,thats why most of us like to go to the LSD unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
