Non-helical torsen differential workings
Non-helical torsen differential workings
(OP)
I've been looking at cut-away drawings of a torsen differential which uses face cams on the half shafts driven by follower dogs in between - no clutches, worm gears, or locking dogs. It may be referred to as a SureTrac, Jack Knight, or Kazz type. How does it work? How does it compare functionally to the worm-gear type torsen? I have searched this forum and the rest of the web, I find a few pictures but no good explanations.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Paul

I bet its either a Viscous unit, or a clutch type.
I do know that other differential manufacutrers are Quaife and the Kazz you mention is a brand. The SureTrac I thought was a Jeep/Crysler name.
