Differentials

Differentials Gears, Differentials Gears India

Axles and Differentials are designed in such a way that the gearing allows power to be transferred from the engine and driveline to the wheels. The engine and transmission spin the driveshaft, which is coupled to a pinion gear housed within the axle. The pinion in turn engages and turns a larger gear known as a ring gear, which causes corresponding movement in the wheels.
