Torque ratios

Torque ratios are particularly important when dynamically changing the load distribution of a vehicle. The setting options for the torque ratios are explained in the following in more detail by means of the schematic view of a gear wheel that is driven by two axis group members.

If a torque ratio of 1:1 is set between two axis group members, each drive will deliver 60 Nm if a setpoint torque of 120 Nm is required.

If a torque ratio of 1:2 is set between two axis group members instead, the first axis group member will deliver 40 Nm and the second one twice the torque of the first one (i.e. 80 Nm). The same operating state can also be reached by a ratio of 0.5:1.

With a ratio of 3:1, the first axis group member would deliver 90 Nm and the second one 30 Nm.
