  2. Axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

    An axle that is driven by the engine or prime mover is called a drive axle. Modern front-wheel drive cars typically combine the transmission (gearbox and differential) and front axle into a single unit called a transaxle. The drive axle is a split axle with a differential and universal joints between the two half axles. Each half axle connects ...

  3. Center axle disconnect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_axle_disconnect

    Center axle disconnect on a Dana 60, in a 1999 4x4 Dodge 2500HD. A center axle disconnect system or CAD is an alternative to locking hubs. CAD systems are typically used in front drive axles on four wheel drive vehicles. A CAD system works by having an axle shaft (typically the longer shaft) split into two pieces.

  4. Power take-off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_take-off

    A split shaft PTO is mounted to the truck's drive shaft to provide power to the PTO. Such a unit is an additional gearbox that separates the vehicle's drive shaft into two parts: The gearbox-facing shaft which will transmit the power of the engine to the split shaft PTO; The axle-facing shaft which transmit the propelling power to the axle.

  5. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

    A limited-slip differential has a more complex torque-split and should be considered in the case when the outputs are spinning the same speed and when spinning at different speeds. The torque difference between the two axles is called Trq d . [8] (In this work it is called Trq f for torque friction [9]).

    This comes from the era before the widespread use of roller bearings where the ends of an axle rested in solid copper bearings housed in a journal box filled with oil soaked cotton waste. An overheated axle led to a hot journal box that often ignited the oiled waste. The term is used to refer to a railway wheel bearing that has over-heated due ...

  8. Wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel

    The normal force between the 4 wheels and axles is the same (in total) 981 N. Assume, for wood, μ = 0.25, and say the wheel diameter is 1000 mm and axle diameter is 50 mm. So while the object still moves 10 m the sliding frictional surfaces only slide over each other a distance of 0.5 m.

  9. Symmetrical All Wheel Drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrical_All_Wheel_Drive

    Torque distribution is adjusted up to a 50:50 split in real time with input from the throttle, transmission, engine control unit and wheel speed sensors. [1] Active torque split AWD is paired with 4-speed automatic transmissions and Subaru's chain-driven Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT).
