Eaton Single Reduction Axles With Controlled Traction Differential
cen dm 09.06.001
The controlled traction differential system is a differential assembly designed to transfer torque from the slipping wheel to the one with traction.
A control valve (see Fig.) in the cab is actuated by the driver to engage and disengage the controlled traction feature.

Disengaged, the axle has differential action all the time. One wheel will spin independently of the other, if slippery conditions are encountered.
Engaged, wheel slippage and spinout are minimized.
Note: The controlled traction differential can be engaged at any speed, except during spinout.
