Loader differential

Product Introduction

The loader differential is a core transmission component installed in the middle of the drive axle, connecting the left and right half-shafts. Its core function is to allow the two wheels to rotate at different speeds when transmitting power to the two half-shafts, meeting the needs of turning and driving on uneven roads. It also functions as a deceleration and torque amplification device, and can withstand impact loads.

Main Types: Standard open bevel gear differential (standard configuration), anti-slip differential/differential lock (optional, for muddy/slippery roads).

Core Structure: Composed of a differential housing, cross shaft, planetary gears (2–4), half-shaft gears, and high-strength bearings; the gears are mostly made of 20CrMnTi alloy steel, carburized and quenched (HRC58–62), wear-resistant and impact-resistant.

Application Scenarios:

Compatible with 1–10 ton loaders (ZL15/ZL30/ZL50/ZL70, etc.), widely used in:

• Mines/quarries: heavy loads, rough and bumpy roads, frequent turning and starting/stopping, requiring impact resistance and stable differential.
• Ports/Cargo Yards: Container and bulk material handling involves high-density operations, requiring efficient transmission and good heat dissipation.
• Construction Sites: Muddy and gravel roads at construction sites often result in wheel slippage on one side; a differential lock can be added to improve maneuverability.
• Municipal/Sanitation: Street sweeping and waste material transport require low-speed, high-torque operation and frequent steering; differential locks reduce tire wear.
• Agriculture/Forestry/Storeyards: Operations on soft ground and in material storage areas require balancing wheel speeds to prevent getting stuck.
