Torsen T2R
| Torsen's T2R RaceMaster Traction Differentials are ideally suited for rear wheel
drive, truck, SUV, C-Clip, and high performance applications. The
patented EQUVEX™ parallel axis gear configuration provides better
management of gear separation forces resulting in low backlash and quiet
operation.
Unlike conventional speed-sensing,
limited slip differentials, TORSEN T2-R 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. TORSEN T2R's patented parallel gearing
system is designed to perform for the life of the vehicle.
The addition of preloading to the TORSEN
T2R allows the differential to remain locked, providing torque to both
wheels under low torque inputs. This allows improved mobility and
traction under extreme conditions. TORSEN T2R can be built with or
without clutches which allows the Torque Bias Ratio (TBR) to be tailored
to individual needs. In addition, it is compatible with electronic
traction control, providing the ultimate in traction management systems. |

MULTIFUNCTION
CAPABILITIES
The TORSEN T2R is an advanced
multifunction traction differential providing continuous, uninterrupted
torque output, torque biasing, and differentiation in one integral
unit. Since it is preloaded, it is capable of remaining locked with low
torque inputs, enhancing traction and mobility under extreme split µ
conditions. It is always active, responding instantly to torque
feedback from variable driving conditions. |
ENHANCED AND COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE
The TORSEN T2R's
capability to immediately respond to variable road 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 T2R 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. |

APPLICATIONS
Due to the preload springs, the TORSEN
T-2R will stay locked with low torque inputs. This allows the vehicle
to maintain drive, and thus momentum and mobility, during extreme
conditions such as inside wheel spin or lift in a corner, or starting
from a complete stop on split µ grade. When the ring gear torque
overcomes the preload, the unit will differentiate and bias normally,
behaving like a conventional Torsen T-2. This is particularly useful to
drivers who compete in road racing and autocrossing, as well as drivers
of unladed pickup trucks, or SUVs who have to deal with poor weather
conditions, or an occasional off-road trail, or for anyone who wants the
best traction possible for their street car. The current applications
for the TORSEN T-2R include the Ford 8.8 inch axle, the GM 8.5 inch
axle, and the GM 7.6 inch axle. |
