Cutaway Differential with Adjustment Capabilities
EC-431_053112
As an instructor, have you struggled to demonstrate how a differential system works to your students? The EC-431 is a working system of actual components, so students can visualize the mechanical operation of an open differential and make your life easier as an instructor. The EC-431 provides an easy method of demonstrating differential operation and the common adjustments made during common service procedures.
Educational Advantages
- Provides component identification exercises for students
- Allows demonstration of proper design and location of common differential parts and components
- Instructors can easily demonstrate the operation of a typical differential
- The EC-431 provides hands-on learning by moving the pinion gear in and out of mesh with the ring gear and allows adjustment of the ring gear position by changing the backlash using hand adjustments
- Provides visualization of backlash adjustment
- Provides visualization of pinion depth position
- Provides visualization of calculating gear ratio
Features
- Provides full visibility and accessibility to all components without the limitations of working under a vehicle
