Unlike conventional mechanical limited slip differentials, the Quaife ATB helical LSD differential operates by gears, not clutch plates. This makes the operation very smooth and gives no discomfort when driving in the city. It also does not affect the functions of electronic traction control or electronic differential lock. During sports driving on circuits and winding roads, it prevents the electronic traction control from starting to intervene, maintains engine power and acceleration, maximizes traction, significantly reduces or eliminates wheel pins, and maximizes the performance of the car.
When either the left or right drive wheel is about to spin, force is applied to the helical gear inside the LSD, which generates frictional resistance between the gears and acts as the differential limiting force of the LSD. The Quaife ATB helical LSD differential automatically controls the drive distribution to be always equal between the left and right wheels using this differential limiting force. In addition, standard oil can be used for the maintenance-free oil. In this way, the Quaife ATB helical LSD differential offers many benefits to owners who enjoy sports driving.
