  1. differential gear

    A differential gear is a mechanical device used mainly in automobiles, allowing wheels to rotate at different speeds, which is necessary when turning when the outer wheel needs to travel a larger distance than the inner one. The primary function of the differential gear is to divide the torque generated by the engine into two separate parts and redirect it to the wheels at varying speeds. It plays a significant role in enhancing the stability, traction, and handling of the vehicle during curves and turns.
