In 1980, Audi introduced the world to full-time all-wheel drive to volume-produced passenger cars. It was called quattro. Now in its fourth generation, Audi's quattro® permanent all-wheel drive directs power where and when it's needed. Under ideal conditions power is split 50/50 front to rear. But in extreme cases up to 67% of the engine's power can be directed to a single wheel. The benefits to the driver are safety, performance, power, and control in copious amounts. When cornering, all four wheels of a car must cover varying distances. The task of the center differential is to compensate for the differences between front and rear axles, and to distribute engine power between front and rear wheels. The center differential is the heart of Audi's permanent all-wheel driveline. Depending on the driving situation and road conditions, the system automatically regulates the distribution of power within milliseconds. This takes place by means of either (depending on model) the Torsen; differential, Haldex™ clutch, or hydraulic multi-plate clutch. Influencing parameters in the control process include engine speed and torque, wheel spreads, and longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The division of propulsive power between all four wheels is the basis of the excellent handling and safety of Audi models with quattro. The potential of this drive concept is further optimized by a series of control systems for brake and engine management: The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) All of the above assist in increasing traction when accelerating or braking. Furthermore, when cornering, the standard Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) increases directional stability by comparing target and actual physical driving forces. The locking function of the center differential and the Electronic Differential Lock make sure that an Audi with quattro; all-wheel drive can still pull away with only one wheel able to transfer engine power to the road. Here's how it works: If one of the wheels on an axle loses grip and starts spinning, propulsive power has to be diverted to the other wheel by the axle's differential. Previously, a mechanical differential lock enabled this to take place. Now, the Electronic Differential Lock has replaced the mechanical lock, effectively transferring the excess power of the spinning wheel to the other wheels with better traction. On an Audi with quattro, if both wheels on an axle start spinning, the continuously controlled locking of the center differential ensures that most of the torque is transmitted to the other axle. In this way, propulsion is guaranteed in almost all situations. On an Audi with quattro, if both wheels on an axle start spinning, the continuously controlled locking of the center differential ensures that most ( adica 67%) of the torque is transmitted to the other axle. In this way, propulsion is guaranteed in almost all situations. dupa audiusa.com --------------------------------------------- cineva spunea ca diferenta intre 4motion si quattro este Haldex vs. Torsen. Se pare ca e inexact. Torsen este folosit pentru transmisia de la motoare dispuse longitudinal in timp ce Haldex este folosit pt. motoare dispuse transversal. -------------------- Civic Si 2007 2.0l DOHC iVTEC

Locking and Torsen
The locking differential is useful for serious off-road vehicles. This type of differential has the same parts as an open differential, but adds an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic mechanism to lock the two output pinions together. QUOTE This mechanism is usually activated manually by switch, and when activated, both wheels will spin at the same speed. If one wheel ends up off the ground, the other wheel won't know or care. Both wheels will continue to spin at the same speed as if nothing had changed.
Ultima afirmatie este perfect adevarat, dar a fost depasita demult de Audi. A fost aleasa solutia franarii automate a rotilor care patinau, sau mai nou, EDL-ul. Adica cand intreaga osie patineaza o varianta electronica si automata a lock-ului manual este folosita pentru a bloca osia respectiva. Din acest motiv la quattro este suficient sa ai doar o singura roata cu tractiune si cuplul va fi indreptat acolo.
The Torsen differential is a purely mechanical device; it has no electronics, clutches or viscous fluids. The Torsen (from Torque Sensing) works as an open differential when the amount of torque going to each wheel is equal. As soon as one wheel starts to lose traction, the difference in torque causes the gears in the Torsen differential to bind together. The design of the gears in the differential determines the torque bias ratio. For instance, if a particular Torsen differential is designed with a 5:1 bias ratio, it is capable of applying up to five times more torque to the wheel that has good traction. These devices are often used in high-performance all-wheel-drive vehicles. Like the viscous coupling, they are often used to transfer power between the front and rear wheels. In this application, the Torsen is superior to the viscous coupling because it transfers torque to the stable wheels before the actual slipping occurs. However, if one set of wheels loses traction completely, the Torsen differential will be unable to supply any torque to the other set of wheels. The bias ratio determines how much torque can be transferred, and five times zero is zero -------------------- Audi A4 130CP - 2002
