Measurement device to measure the locking value of differentials

The differential used is a Torsen centre differential from an Audi Quattro. Drive shafts have been installed in both outlets of the differential and provided with lever arms at their ends. The levers are held by an infinitely adjustable balance. If the differential housing is turned with the help of a rotary lever, the levers of the axle shafts contact the lever arms of the balance. Depending on the setting of the lever arms on the balance, the differential blocks until the balance has been adjusted in such a way that the differential slips lever arms. The locking figure of the differential can be determined immediately by reading off the lever arms (law of levers!).
