To justify the advantages and price of the WESMO by DREXLER limited-slip differential, several key explanations are necessary.
1. Preload of the Clutch Pack
The preload of the clutch pack is crucial for the performance and durability of a limited-slip differential. A differential that has lost its preload can produce unpleasant noises during slow cornering, as the clutches can move freely and rattle. Consistent preload ensures:
- Uniform Performance: The driven wheels are connected, providing controlled torque distribution.
- Noise Reduction: Maintaining preload minimizes rattling noises and provides a smoother driving experience.
The WESMO by DREXLER differential retains its preload, eliminating the need for frequent revisions. This leads to long-term cost savings by avoiding the labor and expense of regular maintenance.
2. Ramp Angles of the Pressure Plates
The ramp angles of the pressure plates affect how the differential reacts during operation. The correct ramp angle helps:
- Optimize Handling: Less wheel load transfer and grip loss in the performance limits of the vehicle.
- Improve Driving Comfort: The differential provides smoother and more controllable performance, especially during high-speed cornering and load changes.
An optimal ramp angle reduces the risk of oversteer and improves vehicle handling, leading to better lap times and an overall enhanced driving experience.
3. Properties of the Clutches
The quality and coating of the clutches are important for the durability and efficiency of the differential. While specific details on clutch materials are not covered here, it is known that:
- High Durability: Premium clutch materials ensure long-lasting performance even under extreme conditions.
- Reduced Wear: Special coatings minimize wear, reducing operational costs.
Summary of the Advantages of the WESMO by DREXLER Limited-Slip Differential:
- Long-Term Cost Savings: No need for regular revisions due to constant preload.
- Improved Vehicle Control: Reduced wheel load transfer and grip loss enhance vehicle handling and lap times.
- Durability and Efficiency: High-quality clutches and special coatings ensure low operating temperatures and minimal wear.
- Exclusive Manufacturing: Produced by DREXLER and exclusively built for WESMO.
The WESMO by DREXLER differential represents a superior investment, paying off through its performance and longevity in any application.
