Summary (2 of 6) The drive axles in trucks are known as differential carriers and are mounted in a banjo housing. Driveshafts deliver driveline torque to the differential carrier that uses pinion and crown gearing to change the direction of powerflow and transmit it to the drive wheels. Differential gearing is required in drive axles and enables an outboard wheel to turn faster than an inboard wheel through a turn. Summary (3 of 6) The critical differential components are a four shaft spider with pinion gears on each shaft that mesh to side gears on either side. The side gears are splined to the axle shaft responsible for driving the wheels. During differential action, the slowdown of one side gear is inversely proportional to the increase in speed of its opposite side gear. Summary (4 of 6) Most single-reduction axles are splash-lubricated by gear oil as the geared components rotate, but many differential carriers with power dividers and multiple- reduction gearing use oil pumps to help lubricate the assembly. Tandem drive trucks require an inter-axle differential or power divider to divide driveline torque between the two drive axles. Summary (5 of 6) In a tandem drive axle arrangement, differential action in the differential carriers and power divider can cause spinout, in which a one-wheel spin can produce fourfold velocities. Most inter-axle differentials can be temporarily locked out by a driver-activated switch. This can help provide traction in slippery conditions and reduce the potential for spinout. Summary (6 of 6) Two-speed differential carrier gearing can be used on both single and tandem drive axle vehicles; control is by the driver. A double-reduction differential carrier can produce two ratio reductions. The first reduction takes place at the crown and pinion gearing, the second at a planetary gearset. Torque proportioning power dividers reduce spinouts by biasing torque transfer to the drive axle with the most traction. Chapter 23 Heavy
