Abstract | A planetary gear type torque-sensing limited slip differential (LSD) must prevent stick slip and allow smooth sliding between contact surfaces. This development aimed to achieve a fi ne roughness on the sliding surfaces along the planetary gear circumference to make it possible to acquire stable frictional characteristics. Furthermore, these frictional characteristics can be studied in theory without testing on actual units by mixed lubrication analysis, which models the roughness of the planetary gear circumference. In addition, applying carbon-based hard-coating to the planetary gear secured durability against wear and seizure, characteristics normally sacrifi ced at the expense of roughness. |
