SUPER-LSD OPERATION

Straight ahead driving
• When driving straight, the right and left side gears rotate at the same speed, and the pinion and side gears
rotate together with the differential gear case. Input force from the ring gear is transmitted to the pinion gears
via the gear case and to the drive shaft via the side gears. Due to this, a speed difference between right and left
in the differential does not occur.
Differential operation
• If the rotation speed between the right and left wheels becomes different (during normal driving), the pinion
gears rotate together while revolving around the center axle of the drive shaft, thereby absorbing the difference
in rotation speed. This mechanism serves as a differential.
