General Questions: What's the benefit of having a Kaaz Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ?

Kaaz UK Limited Slip Differential products ( LSD ) - Motorsp...
If your car currently has a standard open differential fitted or even a viscous limited slip differential that's passed it's best you may wonder what benefit the Kaaz LSD will give. Crudely, in a standard open differential, the differential attempts to distribute the power equally across both wheels, but will prefer to send power to the path of least resistance. Hence in a corner the outside wheel is turning faster so most of the power is transmitted through it.

How do I break in my Kaaz Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ?

Kaaz UK Limited Slip Differential products ( LSD ) - Motorsp...
We understand that the chattering noise can be of concern. But correct break-in of the LSD should fix it in most cases. The best way to break in the LSD, and remove the chattering noise is by driving in a "figure of 8" pattern as shown below. The break-in should last between 30-45 minutes and during this time the aim is to try to allow the plates to rub against each other within the LSD, but without applying lock in the corners.

What is the noise that I can hear from my new Kaaz Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ?

Kaaz UK Limited Slip Differential products ( LSD ) - Motorsp...
When a new mechanical LSD is installed, it can give out an unusual chattering noise. This is caused by the clutch plates vibrating as they slip over one another and can be reduced or eliminated by proper break-in of the LSD You are most likely to hear it when driving at low speed or backing into the garage. Once the LSD, has been properly broken in the noise will disappear, although some larger LSD,s can continue to make some chattering noise even after break in.

What is the difference between a 1, 1.5 way or 2 way Kaaz Limited Slip Differential ( LSD ) ?

Kaaz UK Limited Slip Differential products ( LSD ) - Motorsp...
These numbers refer to the operation of the Limited slip differential. A 1 way LSD only locks when the car is accelerating, which helps to keep the car stable under acceleration. A 2 way LSD locks equally during acceleration and braking which additionally helps to keep the car stable and balanced under braking, although can require a little extra driver skill to avoid understeer in corners by unlocking the LSD A 1.

General Questions: Why should I buy a Kaaz Limited Slip Differential?

KAAZ USA
You might think, "Why should I buy a Kaaz unit when I can buy from the car manufacturer themselves?" Well, we'll show you below. See the difference in size. If you'd like, you can view an exploded view photo of the Kaaz L.S.D. that helps to show the overall construction. The most important factor of an L.S.D. is the friction between the clutch plates. The plates cannot slip when they are not meant to, otherwise the L.S.D. is of no use.

What type of limited slip differential do you offer?

FAQs - STaSIS Engineering Audi Tuning and Alcon Brake inform...
No. The primary function of the spring is to control the roll of the vehicle. Body roll, brake dive and acceleration squat are all functions of spring rate. By increasing the rate of the spring, you decrease the movement of the body. Ride compliance and harshness are more a function of high speed damper compression resistance than spring rate.

What can I cut on a non-differential gear hob?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
A hobbing machine in its simplest form has no differential, yet it is versatile and productive. A basic non-differential gear hob can serve well for break-down and production work over a wide variety of toothed members. The type of work generated is determined by the hob cutter tooling. Hob cutters are readily available to cut nearly any external tooth member: spur or helical gearing, splines, timing belt pulleys, roller chain or silent chain sprockets, and throated worm gears.

When do I need a differential-equipped gear hob?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Primarily, when you need to recut helical gears. The differential allows you to keep the workpiece and hob cutter in sync while you back the cutter up for another cut. This is particularly handy for "getting it right" the first time, larger pitches, and some harder materials. Also, with a little trickery you can cut prime spur gears with large tooth numbers. See How to cut a large spur gear with a prime number of teeth? for a description of a method for large prime gears.
