The differential is an assembly of gears located between the drive axles. It's purpose is to allow the drive wheels to move at different speeds while maintaining power to both. This lessens tire wear and improves handling.

Where do you use crown and pinions?
These are commonly used inside the differential on an Automobile.
In an automobile the drive shaft connects the transmission to the?
Differential, many times called the rear-end or third member.
What is the function of the differential?
In an automobile, the differential allows each of the driving wheels to rotate at different speeds, while supplying equal torque to each of them. In automotive applications, the differential and its housing are sometimes collectively called a "pumpkin" (because the housing resembles a pumpkin).
What is final drive in automobile?
Parts of a vehicle like the driveshaft, differential and axles. Commonly anything after the gearbox going to the wheels.
What is the function of a differential in an automobile?
Differential gears in an automobile's drivetrain allow the driving wheels to transmit torque, or twisting force, at different turning rates. Thus one wheel can follow the longer arc around the outside of a turn while the other wheel tracks the shorter inside arc without skidding on the road surface.
What is transfer case of an automobile?
a transfer case is found in 4 wheel drive vehicles it transfers power to the front differential. It is mounted to the rear of the transmission.
What are drive trains?
The drive train of an automobile would consist of whatever makes the vehicle move such as engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential(s), axles and so on.
What connects directly to the internal combustine engine in an automobile?
A typical drive train (rear wheel drive) : Crankshaft > clutch > gearbox > prop shaft > differential > drive wheels.
Where would you use a crown and pinion?
They can be used anywhere your power needs to make a 90 degree turn Commonly they are used in the Differential of an automobile because they run so quiet
Are differential used in real life?
Certainly. Calculating overtime wages- some shifts pay extra as there is some social displacement- hence ( Differential for night duty) Differential Math has all kinds of applications including- automobile transmissions. Some trucks have the very neat idea of two differential shafts and differential cases ( the after part of the power train, so to speak) these counter-rotate and tame the torque to reduce needless vibration. Some Alfa-Romeo cars had this feature but it is better adapted to trucks. Cranes, too have used this split-shaft feature.
Do train have diffrential?
Trains don't have a differential in the sense that an automobile does. Instead the tread of the wheels has a long taper and the top of the rail head is also on a radius. On a curve the wheels tend to move into the curve so that the wheel on the outside can travel at a different rate than the inner wheel thus allowing for a differential effect.
When was differential unit first installed in an automobile?
Old Model t's had what we used to call banjo housings differentials. That was 1929. Before then, I am not sure, but in the middle 1700's many steam engines had such contraptions.
