Forklift Differentials

Forklift Differential - A differential is a mechanical tool which could transmit torque and rotation through three shafts, frequently but not always employing gears. It usually works in two ways; in vehicles, it receives one input and provides two outputs. The other way a differential functions is to combine two inputs so as to create an output that is the difference, sum or average of the inputs. In wheeled vehicles, the differential allows each of the tires to be able to rotate at various speeds while providing equal torque to all of them.

The differential is designed to drive the wheels with equivalent torque while also allowing them to rotate at various speeds. If traveling around corners, the wheels of the cars would rotate at various speeds. Certain vehicles like for example karts work without utilizing a differential and use an axle in its place. Whenever these vehicles are turning corners, both driving wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed, typically on a common axle that is driven by a simple chain-drive mechanism. The inner wheel needs to travel a shorter distance than the outer wheel when cornering. Without utilizing a differential, the effect is the outer wheel dragging and or the inner wheel spinning. This puts strain on drive train, resulting in unpredictable handling, difficult driving and damage to the tires and the roads.

The amount of traction required in order to move the vehicle at any given moment depends on the load at that moment. How much drag or friction there is, the vehicle's momentum, the gradient of the road and how heavy the vehicle is are all contributing elements. One of the less desirable side effects of a conventional differential is that it can limit traction under less than perfect circumstances.

The effect of torque being supplied to each wheel comes from the transmission, drive axles and engine making use of force against the resistance of that traction on a wheel. Normally, the drive train will provide as much torque as needed except if the load is exceptionally high. The limiting element is usually the traction under each wheel. Traction can be interpreted as the amount of torque that can be generated between the road surface and the tire, before the wheel begins to slip. The automobile would be propelled in the planned direction if the torque used to the drive wheels does not exceed the threshold of traction. If the torque applied to every wheel does go beyond the traction threshold then the wheels will spin constantly.
