QUAIFE ATB DIFFERENTIALS

• Unique, QUAIFE Patented, design prevents
complete loss of drive that occurs with some
conventional differentials when one wheel slips
• Used in all forms of motorsports
• Never locks, inherently safe
• Controlled power transmitted to all driving wheels
• Automatic in operation
• Eliminates harsh torque steer and understeering
characteristics of other types of LSD
• Gear operated (No plates to wear or break)
• Benefits all year round, regardless
of traction conditions
• Direct replacement for standard unit
• Minimal maintenance requirements
• Ideal where off road capability is useful
ie Police, Ambulance, Public Utilities
• Retains normal axle lubrication
• Available for many different vehicles – new
applications continuously being added

Sets of floating helical gear

pinions mesh to provide the
normal speed differential action.
In the event of wheel slip,
torque bias is generated by
the axial and radial
thrusts of the pinions in
the pockets. The
resultant friction
force enables the
driving road
wheel and sun
gear to
transmit a
greater
proportion of the
torque. This effect is
progressive but at no stage
does the differential lock solid,
hence the inherent safety of
the QUAIFE Automatic
Torque Biasing differential.
The latest competition
development of this
differential uses pressure
pads on the ends of the
pinions with which we
can vary the amount
of slip according to
driver preference.

 QUAIFE ATB DIFFERENTIALS
The QUAIFE ATB differential is designed to prevent
the complete loss of drive that occurs with a
conventional differential when one wheel slips.
Whilst requiring some torque in the slipping wheel,
the QUAIFE unit is progressive in action but never
locks – controlled power is transmitted to all the
driving wheels. Ideally suited to high powered front
wheel drive systems, QUAIFE ATB differentials are
also used in rear and four wheel drive vehicles
where optimum traction is required.

Installation is identical to the normal differential with

bearing pre-loads and pinion mesh being restored
to the original manufacturers’ settings. Servicing of
the unit is simple as all gear pinions are free fitting
and normal final drive lubrication oils are retained.
Due to the internal design of the QUAIFE ATB
differential, all driving wheels must be elevated
when servicing brakes, wheels etc.
