The
multi-plate
clutch
prevents
excessive
differential
slip and
therefore
maximizes
the
traction
performance
of
the
vehicle.
This
is
fundamentally
different
from
'braked'
traction
control
systems,
which
can
only
counteract
differential
slip when it
occurs.
A
certain
amount
of
differential
slip is
required
to
allow
the
vehicle
to
turn
corners
and
to
remain
stable
under
control
of
the
ABS
(anti-lock
brake
system).
The
system
is
completely
automatic and
does
not
require
any
special
driver
input.
The
multi-plate
clutch
actively
controls
the
torque
flow
through
the
differential
and
optimizes
the
torque
distribution in
the
driveline.
The
clutch
biases
the
torque
from
the
differential
to
the
wheel
with the
higher
grip
and prevents
the
wheel
with the
lower
grip
from
spinning.

biasing function to give improved traction performance and vehicle dynamic stability. Operation of the electronic differential is
controlled by the Differential Locking Module (DLM).

60 Oil seal The multi-plate clutch is contained in a clutch basket attached to the differential carrier with the crown wheel securing bolts.
Alternate plates of the clutch pack are keyed to the clutch basket and the LH sun gear. A pressure disc is installed on the outer end of the clutch pack and keyed to the clutch basket. A thrust race on the end of the clutch basket incorporates lugs which
extend through the clutch basket onto the pressure disc.
The actuator assembly is mounted on bearings on the outboard end of the clutch basket, against the thrust race. The actuator
assembly consists of input and output actuators separated by five ball bearings. A locking pin in the cover engages with a slot
in the output actuator to prevent it turning, but allow it to move axially. The input actuator engages with the reduction gearbox
and is free to rotate relative to the cover. Ball bearings locate in curved grooves in the mating faces of the input and
output actuators. The bottom surface of each groove incorporates a ramp. Rotation of the input actuator forces the ball
bearings up the ramps in the grooves and induces an axial movement in the output actuator. The thrust race and pressure disc
transfer the axial movement from the output actuator to the clutch pack.
Item Description 1 Actuator 2 Multi-plate clutch 3 Differential The motor is a 12 V dc motor that adjusts the frictional loading of the multi-plate clutch, via the reduction gearbox and the
actuator assembly, under the control of the DLM. Adjusting the frictional loading of the multi-plate clutch adjusts the locking
torque between the crown wheel drive gear and the sun wheel.
Four bolts attach the motor to the reduction gearbox, which is located in position on the cover with two dowels, and secured
with four bolts. An O-ring seals the joint between the motor and the reduction gearbox.
The motor is driven by a 12 V dc feed direct from the DLM. The motor also incorporates the following connections with the
DLM:
A motor temperature sensor, to prevent excessive use from damaging the motor.
Two Hall effect motor position sensors, to enable closed loop control of the motor.
The temperature sensor provides a differential oil temperature signal to the DLM, to prevent excessive use from damaging the
multi-plate clutch.
Differential Locking Module (DLM)
The DLM controls operation of the electronic differential. The DLM is attached to a bracket located on the LH side of the luggage compartment, immediately forward of the fender tail lamp, behind the trim.
