Description
LOKKA is a fully automatic Differential Lock that does not require manual operation. It doesn’t have switches, external lines, electric or pneumatic controls of any sort. It relies on a simple mechanical design which makes use of two distinct sets of forces – the “ground driven” forces acting on a wheel when cornering (that force an outside wheel to turn faster) and the forces from the engine (power) turning the differential and axles. The combination of these two sets of opposing forces and the LOKKA design allow the automatic engagement and disengagement of the driving gears when a vehicle turns or requires differential action. LOKKA overcomes the traction deficiency of the standard differential center to ensure that a 50:50 power split is achieved when driving, irrespective of ground conditions, yet at the same time still allowing differential action when cornering on hard ground.
