A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11920664B2) discloses a limited-slip differential system designed to distribute torque from a drive shaft to two axles based on the speed difference between them. The system includes a differential carrier with two portions connected by a clutch pack, allowing for frictional engagement of clutch plates to redistribute torque. The system features a unique lubrication channel design within the carrier portions to guide lubricant to the clutch plates effectively.
Furthermore, the patent details the pressure system of the differential, including a piston and a rotary pump to exert axial force on the clutch pack for engagement. The differential system is configured to allow for different angular velocities between the axles below a threshold speed difference, gradually redistributing torque to prevent slippage when the speed difference exceeds the threshold. The differential components, such as the piston and lubrication channels, are designed to optimize performance and ensure efficient torque distribution between the axles.
