The NoSpin differential is a type of differential designed by TracTech, and now owned by Eaton. It permits all the available torque to be delivered to the wheels while still allowing for wheel speed differentiation. Rather than having two side gears and one or more pinion gears (like a standard open differential), it contains a clutch on either side of the spider which mecanically engage with the spider. When one wheel is forced to travel faster than the other (such as the left wheel in a right-hand turn), the clutch on that side of the spider will disengage, allowing that wheel to spin faster. The other wheel will be given 100% of the available torque from the driveline. When both wheels return to spinning the same speed, the clutch engages with the spider again, and the differential basically acts as a locked diff. These differentials are normally used on off road machinery since the engagement and disengagement of the clutches is loud and can be felt through the driveline. They would be very annoying in high traction conditions (pavement).

What is the purpose of inter axle differential?

The inter axle differential (also called a power divider) is an integral shaft in the forward axle. That shaft is the input for the forward axle and also the rear axle with a differential separating the input from the output allowing for a difference in speed between the front and rear axle.

What is the difference between differential lock and interaxle differential lock?

Differential lock is a driver controlled locking mechanism which locks the speed differentiation of axle halfshafts in differential mechanisms.After locking, both wheels rotate in same speed.But the interaxle differential(IAD) lockstopsthe speed differentiation of two axles in Tandem axle vehicles by locking the inter axle differential(third differential),after locking IAD both pinions rotate in same speed.
