139-2277: Differential Spider

The Differential Spider, also known as a differential gear carrier or differential cage, is a central component within the Differential. The Differential Spider typically consists of a set of bevel gears mounted on a spider-shaped carrier. The bevel gears mesh with the ring gear, which is connected to the drive shaft, and the spider carrier also supports the pinion gears that mesh with the side gears connected to the axle shafts. This arrangement allows torque to be transferred from the ring gear to the side gears and then to the wheels. Attributes: • Provide smooth turning and traction control, particularly when navigating corners or uneven terrain • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliability Applications: The Differential Spider is used in Differentials to distribute torque effectively between the wheels and provide smooth turning and traction control, particularly when navigating corners or uneven terrain.
