Differential Technologies
Discussion
Hello everyone, I have a technical question, but not about engines. (please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum).
I have been trying to learn my way round the different differential technologies. I have found some really good information on Open (and derivative) types and TorSen types. Now I am looking for information on Viscous Coupling types. I understand the basic principle of operation, but I have not been able to find a company that sells high performance VCD's or information on the design criteria. If anyone has any good resources on VCD's I would really appreciate it if you could hook me up.
Also, for AWD cars, it seems like VCD's are used for at least 90% of the time. Anyone know of standout examples of using a TorSen or Open diff instead?
Thanks,
Paul
