This educational unit features a real sectioned rear axle connected to rear wheel hubs and accommodating handbrakes. It allows the trainee to observe how driving power is transmitted to the rear wheels while allowing for variance between right and left wheel speeds.
- A sectioned rear axle accommodating handbrakes and mounted on a robust frame which can be easily relocated.
- This educational unit is functional and includes all the components of a rear axle system such as the differential, axle bearings, pinion bearings, drive axles and wheels hubs.
- The differential is sectioned and showcased with different color cross-sections and components to allow the trainee to observe the internal construction, components and working operation.
- A drum braking mechanism is mounted on one of the rear wheel hubs with the drum face cut off to allow the trainee to observe both, the braking operation and how the differential distributes the torque while allowing for variance between right and left rear wheels.
- White LEDs provide enough illumination inside the housings to allow the trainee to observe the construction, components and the working principles of the axle.
- The input rotation to the axle's differential may be introduced manually by a hand wheel or electrically by an electric motor
- Unit includes a printed engineering drawing of the system on a panel including its operation switches.
- The unit is fixed on four caster wheels to eases its motion inside the laboratory, these caster wheels are equipped with brakes to prevent the trainer from sliding during the operation.
- The unit is treated against rust and electrostatically painted.
