Torsen T-2 (Back to
Torsen main page)
| Zexel
Torsen's TORSEN T-2 Traction Differential are ideally suited for front
wheel, center box, or C-Clip rear axle applications. The patented EQUVEX™
parallel axis gear configuration provides better management of gear mesh
separation forces, resulting in low backlash and quiet operation. In
addition, long side gear lengths permit more flexibility in axle spline
positions.
Unlike conventional speed sensing,
limited-slip differentials, TORSEN T-2 is a full-time torque-sensing, torque
biasing system. Torque and differentiation are continuously managed between
the two axles and biased instantaneously according to variable road
conditions. There are no clutches or preload to worry about, in fact, the
TORSEN T-2's patented parallel gearing system is designed to perform for the
life of the vehicle.
TORSEN T-2 Traction Differentials are
available with a biasing capability range of 1.4:1 to 3.0:1 and will fit in
most standard axles without modification. In addition, they are fully
compatible with ABS and Traction Control Systems, providing the ultimate in
traction management systems. |
MULTIFUNCTION
CAPABILITIES
 The
TORSEN T-2 is an advanced, multi-function traction differential, providing
continuous, uninterrupted torque output, torque biasing and differentiation
in one integral unit. It is always active, responding instantly to torque
feedback from variable driving conditions.

 ENHANCED
PERFORMANCE
The TORSEN T-2's capability to immediately
respond to variable driving conditions not only provides better traction, it
also enhances the general performance of a vehicle. There is a marked
improvement in total tractive effort as compared to open or conventional
limited-slip differential equipped vehicles. In addition, the exceptional
efficiency of the T-2 allows the engine's torque output to be used more
effectively, delivering more horsepower to the road. The combined
improvement in traction and the augmented power results in a nimble yet
sure-footed vehicle that provides better handling, increased acceleration
and an improved margin of safety. |

TORQUE
BIAS
Designed for today's modern front wheel drive
vehicles, the TORSEN T-2 design is also suitable for C-Clip rear axles. It
features lower backlash for quiet operation and longer durability. Other
TORSEN T-2 advantages include straddle transfer gear design allowing better
management of gear mesh separation forces and long side gear lengths for
flexibility in axle spline positions. In addition, the number of planet
gears can be increased or decreased, based upon system strength
requirements.
