I will look. I though that you might know the full vertion of that abreviation.
and yes your almost there with the break torque, its i.e just say we are talking 2wd, and the diff is set to a figure of 70ft/lb, if i lift one wheel off the floor, place the car in gear ( so the pinion cant turn) then apply a torque wrench to the hub nut, i should see 70ft/lb on the wrench setting before the wheel(hub nut) will turn, this is the pre-load of the diff.
does that help ?
I understand that but this figure stood next to helical type LSD, so something Torsen/ATB-like. I know there are hybrid diffs that employ both speed sensing and torque sensing mechanisms - does that mean it's this kind of diff?
And this brake torque would be the figure next to all those diffs that have Nm/s or this kgf-m/s figures next to them as this is how we measure locking action normally, isn't it? Or Am I missing something still?
