Sentences with phrase «clutch center differential»

The ACD unit employs an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch center differential, vectoring drive torque to the front and rear according to different driving conditions to realize the best balance between steering response and traction characteristics on Tarmac, Gravel, or Snow surfaces.

The above mentioned cars use a Haldex type clutch center differential which is only activated when the front wheels spin and always deactivated when braking.

Not exact matches

Utilizing a center differential with a multi-plate clutch, it normally sends all available torque to the rear wheels, but can deliver up to 38 percent to the fronts when the system deems it necessary.

Sand, Trail, and Rock modes tailor the vehicle's throttle, shift, and steering systems to the terrain, while also managing the vehicle's four - wheel drive system, made possible by a new clutch - based center differential specific to the G 63.

It weighs less than 3,000 pounds and has a sequential dog - clutch gearbox; programmable center differential; limited - slip front and rear differentials; and a 2.0 - liter, turbocharged flat - four engine with 350 hp and 480 lb - ft of torque.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is also predicated on the «turbo motor, compact platform» concept, but it throws in more technology in the form of all - wheel drive featuring an active center differential with active yaw control, and the availability of a dual - clutch automated six - speed manual transmission (a traditional five - speed manual is also available with the Lancer Evolution).

When the driver operates the switch for the center differential lock, the multiplate clutch switches to a 100 % locking effect.

Production commenced of the A241H, Toyota's first 4 - speed automatic transaxle for full - time 4WD vehicles, which uses a wet multi-plate clutch as a differential - limiting device for the center differential

A switch on the center console, though, allows for manual control over the center differential, while the front and rear axle differentials have a dog clutch and a 100 - percent locking effect, and they can each be enabled individually.

For one, the front differential moves fore of the clutch, letting the engine scoot back farther toward the center of the car, similar to the configuration in the A8 and the Bentley Continental.

To distribute the torque between front and rear axles, the Outback models with manual transmission use a viscous - type locking center differential, while the 4 - speed automatic models utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch.

Haldex Traction LSC multi-plate clutch with ECU electronic control, acting as a pseudo center differential.

In Auto mode the new software algorithms allowed the multi-disc clutch pack's friction and clutch discs to slip as needed, simulating a planetary or bevel geared center differential, making a geared differential redundant.

[1] BorgWarner's original design called for using both a software controlled electromagnetic multi-disc (also called multi-plate) clutch pack and a planetary or bevel geared center differential together.

However, as the development process continued, engineers at BorgWarner discovered that, with clever software programming, they could control the variable electromagnetic multi-disc clutch to a point where it would allow the front and rear drive shafts to turn at different rotational speeds on its own, without the aid of a planetary or bevel geared center differential.

When traction loss is detected, torque is sent forward to the front differential in 10 percent increments, via the center multi-disc clutch.

As it does so, intelligent control software allows the center multi-disc clutch to behave like a geared center differential, such that «driveline binding» and «torque windup» do not occur.

They come in a number of different types, including a locking Torsen or torque - sensing differential (found on Audi vehicles, the Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus GX470), a non-locking center differential (found on the Chrysler 300C, the Cadillac Escalade, SRX and Toyota Highlander) multiple clutch systems (found on the Acura RL and RDX, Honda Ridgeline and Pilot) and multi-plate clutch coupling systems (found on the BMW xDrive cars, Honda CR - V and HR - V, Lincoln MKS and MKZ, and Subaru vehicles.
