Haldex all-wheel drive clutch
Automakers are adding more and more electronic components to the device of a modern car. Such modernization and transmission of the car did not bypass. Electronics allow mechanisms and entire systems to work more accurately and respond much faster to changing operating conditions. A car equipped with all-wheel drive will necessarily have a mechanism responsible for transferring part of the torque to the secondary axle, making it the leading one. Depending on the type of vehicle and how engineers solve the problem of connecting all wheels, the transmission can be equipped with a limited-slip differential (what a differential is and how it works is described in a separate review) or a multi-plate clutch, which you can read about separately. In the description of the all-wheel drive model, the concept of a Haldex coupling may be present. She…
4Matic all-wheel drive system
Vehicle handling is one of the most important factors on which road safety depends. Most modern vehicles are equipped with a transmission that transmits torque to one pair of wheels (front or rear wheel drive). But the high power of some powertrains is forcing automakers to produce all-wheel drive modifications. If you transfer torque from a productive motor to one axle, the drive wheels will inevitably slip. To stabilize the car on the road and make it more reliable and safe in a sporty style of driving, it is necessary to ensure the distribution of torque to all wheels. This improves the stability and controllability of vehicles on unstable road surfaces, such as ice, mud or sand. If you correctly distribute the effort on each wheel, the car is not even afraid ...
Quattro all-wheel drive system
Quattro (translated from Italian for “four”) is a proprietary all-wheel drive system used on Audi cars. The design is a classic scheme borrowed from SUVs - the engine and gearbox are located longitudinally. The intelligent system provides the best dynamic performance based on road conditions and wheel traction. Cars have outstanding handling and grip on any type of road surface. The history of appearance For the first time a passenger car with a similar system design The idea to introduce the all-wheel drive concept of an SUV into the design of a passenger car was realized on the basis of the Audi 80 serial coupe. The constant victories of the first Audi Quattro model in rally races proved the correctness of the chosen all-wheel drive concept. Contrary to the doubts of critics, whose main argument was the bulkiness of the transmission, ingenious engineering solutions turned this shortcoming into ...
XDrive all-wheel drive system
Compared to vehicles of the last century, a modern car has become faster, its engine is more economical, but not at the expense of performance, and the comfort system allows you to enjoy driving a car, even if it is a representative of the budget class. At the same time, the active and passive safety systems have been improved and consist of a large number of elements. But the safety of the car depends not only on the quality of the brakes or the number of airbags (read how they work here). How many accidents on the roads were due to the fact that the driver lost control of the vehicle when driving at high speed on an unstable surface or in a sharp turn! Different systems are used to stabilize transport in such situations. For example, when a car enters...
