Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to limited slip differentials and more particularly to a hydraulic control unit that delivers hydraulic fluid to a limited slip differential.
  • Differentials are provided on vehicles to permit an outer drive wheel to rotate faster than an inner drive wheel during cornering as both drive wheels continue to receive power from the engine. While differentials are useful in cornering, they can allow vehicles to lose traction, for example, in snow or mud or other slick mediums. If either of the drive wheels loses traction, it will spin at a high rate of speed and the other wheel may not spin at all. To overcome this situation, limited-slip differentials were developed to shift power from the drive wheel that has lost traction and is spinning to the drive wheel that is not spinning.
  • Electronically-controlled, limited-slip differentials can include a hydraulically- actuated clutch to limit differential rotation between output shafts of the differential.

  • the limited slip differentiai 14 can operate to drive a pair of axle shafts 30, 32 that are connected to a pair of respective drive wheels (not shown).

  • the plurality of annular plates and annular friction disks are interleaved between one another and act to rotate past one another in substantially non-contacting relationship when the clutch 22 is in its open position.
  • non-contacting as used herein is relative and is not meant to necessarily indicate that the annular plates and annular friction disks have absolutely no contact when the clutch 22 is in the open condition.
  • annular plates and annular friction disks are axially movable into frictional engagement relative to one another, thereby reducing relative rotation between the annular plates and annular friction disks when the clutch 22 is in the closed or partially closed configurations.

  • the piston pump can cause a pumping action on the fluid contained in the hydraulic control unit housing 50.
  • the pumping action ultimately causes the fluid to be pumped into the accumulator chamber 64 (that shares a common space with the sump 69).
  • the pumping action ultimately causes the fluid to be pumped into the accumulator chamber 64.
