Limited Slip Differential
Introduction to LSD
The Normal Differential
As we well know, a race car driver wins races from shaving lap times by cornering faster. Because of this many teams and constructors try to make their cars that can maintain higher cornering speeds.
On every car a basic differential is fitted to distribute the engine's power to the driving wheels. The basic differential gear (Figure 1) supplies the power to the wheels which is/are loaded with least resistance. This allows the car's wheels to run at different speeds in a turn with least resistance.
Figure 1.
However, when a car is cornering close to it's limit, the car will exhibit roll, a leaning to one side, causing the inside tire(s) to lose forward traction and lateral grip. The wheels lift and cause excessive spin because of lack of downward force or weight distribution. This wheel spin is useless for acceleration until the tire(s) regain traction and start to translate the power to the ground. Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is needed to alleviate this wheelspin.
Limited Slip Differential
An LSD is constructed similarly to the normal differential (Figure 2).
As you can see, the pressure plate rings have the side gear, the pinion and the pinion gears locked inside and behind each pressure rings are a number of clutch plates. When torque is applied to the differential, the differential case will rotate and throw the pinion into the pressure ring cam. The pressure ring is then pushed out against the clutch plates thereby squeezing them together. This in turn causes the wheels to gradually lock together, depending on the power applied. This effect limits the wheel spin during hard cornering and applies power to the wheels evenly when more power is applied. On acceleration and deceleration, it provides even grip and on neutral power, it frees up for less drag and easier turning.
Figure 2.
Different Type of LSD Configurations (1 Way, 1.5 Way & 2 Way)
Some manufacturers make LSD's in different configurations and are commonly classified as 1 way, 1.5 way and 2 way. This designation reflects the design of the cam groove which enables the LSD to function differently under different loads. A 1 way differential means that the cam is shaped in such way as to have positive lock only when accelerating. The 2 way is constructed in a way to have positive lock motion in both acceleration and deceleration mode (Figure 3). The 1.5 way functions almost same as a 2 way but provides less lock when decelerating. The 1.5 way can provide more forgiving balance when braking than a full 2 way setup, although it is less effective for true racing applications, it provides easier operation for beginners in throttle off conditions. 1.5 way is also very effective for front wheel drive cars which need extra stability during braking.
Figure 3.
A Comparison of LSD
There are many brands and grades of LSD in today's market.
The OEM supplied LSD, standard and optional on many cars today are 2 pinions. This design has very low positive lock and it is designed to provide some sporty feel to the showroom cars. Because of the nature of this low lock design, it is just slightly more effective than not having one at all. Not a choice for true performance drivers.
A performance LSD should have at least 4 pinions. This is the design used for racing and rallies around the world. The positive lock ratio and linear lock characteristics are determined by a number of components. The cam profile, clutch plate quantity and size, initial torque of the preload springs and the lubricants.
A viscous type, torsen type and helical type are some of other designs used as OEM equipment or optional LSD unit. These designs are commonly used since they are less aggressive and easier to maintain than the clutch type racing LSD unit. In order to achieve the maximum traction control, most OEM performance divisions and aftermarket manufactures use the clutch type design for their LSD unit.

duh masa gini aja gak ngerti. masih mending ini daripada yang di wikipedia jauh lebih rumit.
karena lagi banyak tugas gak sempet ntar kalo udah tambah info lagi baru di edit.

・ One way L.S.D. specially suited for front wheel drive cars and 4WD car front axles.
Activates under acceleration, and acts as a true LSD when the throttle is off. A great chance for improved lap times.

kalo untuk sirkuit yang banyak tikungan kayaknya perlu LSD ya... mereka yang ikut VTEC Challenge OMR itu apakah pada make LSD ? Kalo hanya untuk balapan di toll kayaknya kurang perlu ya ?

Kayaknya kalo ada dana sekitar 10 jt-an atau lebih, mending gue duluin ganti suspensi dengan coilover shocks... lebih ringan bobot totalnya dibanding suspensi standar, dan bisa disetel tinggi rendahnya, dan tingkat kekerasannya....

Tahun 90 an, waktu masih main Suzuki 4x4, gue pasang Locker (lebih parah dari LSD) ... banyak sekali gunanya kalau kita sedang di lumpur. Kalau dijalan normal malah bahaya... Kalau di sedan... mungkin banyak gunanya dan aman kalau untuk Rally saja.... Tapi kalau ada yang berpendapat lain, ya terserah saja...D-SOUL wrote:emang sih kalo di toll LSD kurang ke pake

Maaf, saya lebih familiar dengan Locker.D-SOUL wrote:boleh tanya gak untuk LSD merek yang terkenal apa saja?
Yang banyak digunakan di komunitas off-road / adventure / cross-country ialah Lock-Right, Auburn, Detroit Locker.
Saya bisa bantu search di Google untuk LSD tetapi kemudian saya tidak tahu apakah itu banyak digunakan atau tidak. Karena menyangkut keandalan.
Kebetulan saya juga tidak banyak mengenal komunitas Auto Rally, sehingga betul-2 "blank" nih.... Maaf.... tidak bisa membantu.

saya berhasil mendapatkan hasil survey dari beberapa pembalap amatir.
dari 48 orang yang ikut vote;
32 prefer LSD
16 prefer LOCKER
0 prefer open dif
tapi banyak dari mereka yang memilih LOCKER hanya karena harga LSD memang lebih mahal dibandingkan dengan LOCKER. bagaimanapun mereka juga mengatakan bahwa LOCKER sedikit lebih susah dipakai khususnya bila belum menyesuaikan diri.
