For Enjoyable Driving
TORSEN : Torque-sensitive Limited-slip Differential with Superior Traction Performance
JTEKT Torsen limited-slip differentials (LSDs) provide continuous optimal distribution of torque in response to driver operation and road-surface conditions. The result is a level of smooth drivability not possible with a multi-plate LSD. Maximizing vehicle performance, Torsen provides drivers with operability a full rank above the rest.
Draw Maximum Possible Performance Out of the Vehicle
Even at the moment unpredictable vehicle behavior occurs, Torsen immediately distributes the appropriate torque to stabilize vehicle posture and avoid danger. A level of sensitive responsiveness that makes aggressive driving possible.
Superb Torque Distribution Making the Most of Four-wheel-drive Characteristics
The power control resulting from front-rear asymmetric torque distribution enables powerful acceleration on unstable road surfaces and reliable operation when cornering.

Torsen type A
- Detail >>
Construction:
Differential with worm gear for high torque distribution
Applications:
·Rear differential for sports cars
·Center differential for high-performance 4WDs
Installation positon:
Front, rear, center
Details:
High-torque distribution ratio: an example of its use is as the rear differential in rear-wheel-drive sports cars. High-speed cornering, increasing the vehicle handling limits, off-road traction performance and attaining the next level of comfortable drivability are possible.

Torsen type B
- Detail >>
Construction:
Differential that uses a helical gear to provide low-torque distribution performance
Applications:
·Front differential for light cross-country vehicles
·Rear differential for premium vehicles and sports cars
·Center differential for high-performance 4WDs
Installation position:Front, rear, center
Details:
Multipurpose differential that can be used in various applications. Utilizing the inherently good responsiveness synonymous with Torsen, it performs well across a wide range and can be adapted as a front, center or rear differential.
