Differential Gears

Differential gears are the backbone of your vehicle’s ability to handle turns smoothly and distribute power efficiently to the wheels. Whether you’re navigating tight city streets or cruising on the highway, these precision-engineered components ensure optimal performance and safety. At FMP, we specialize in offering top-tier differential gears crafted for durability, compatibility, and superior handling.

What Are Differential Gears?

Differential gears are essential automotive components that allow your vehicle’s wheels to rotate at different speeds, especially when cornering. Found in the drivetrain, they play a pivotal role in maintaining traction and preventing wheel slippage. Without a differential gear system, your car would struggle to turn smoothly, leading to excessive tire wear and poor handling. This ingenious mechanism dates back to the early days of automotive engineering and remains a cornerstone of modern vehicles—from everyday sedans to high-performance sports cars. At FMP, our differential gears are built to meet the demands of any driver, ensuring reliability on every journey.

How Do Differential Gears Work?

Differential gears operate by balancing the power delivered to each wheel based on driving conditions. When you turn, the outer wheel needs to travel a longer distance than the inner wheel, requiring it to spin faster. The differential gear system uses a series of gears—typically a pinion, ring gear, and side gears—to distribute torque accordingly. For example, in a standard open differential, power flows to the wheel with the least resistance, ensuring smooth operation. In more advanced systems like limited-slip differentials, torque is actively managed to enhance grip on slippery surfaces.

Types of Differential Gears

Not all differential gears are created equal—each type serves a unique purpose depending on your driving needs. Here’s what we offer:
Open Differential: The most common type, ideal for everyday driving. It’s cost-effective and efficient, distributing power to the wheel with the least resistance—perfect for city commutes or highway trips.
Limited-Slip Differential: Designed for performance enthusiasts, this system actively manages torque to both wheels, improving traction on wet roads or during sharp turns. It’s a favorite for sports cars like Alfa Romeo models.
Locking Differential: Built for rugged terrains, locking differentials ensure both wheels spin at the same speed, delivering maximum grip for off-road adventures or heavy-duty vehicles.
