Differential Gears

Differential gears are referred to an arrangement of gears, connecting two axles in the same line and dividing the driving force between them. One axle is allowed to turn faster than the other. These gears are often used in automotive industry for allowing a difference in axle speed on curves.

 

In automobiles, the gear system allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds and simultaneously supplying each of them with equal torque. The gears are specially designed to create a differential and consist of pinion and turnable gears.
