Torque ratios

The torque ratios play a particularly important role when dynamically changing the load distribution of a traveling vehicle. With the help of a schematic representation of a gear wheel driven by 2 axis group members, the setting options for the torque ratios are explained in more detail below.

Example 1: Torque ratio 1:1

If a torque ratio of 1:1 is set between 2 axis group members, each drive will deliver 60 Nm if a setpoint torque of 120 Nm is required.

Example 2: Torque ratio 1:2

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

Example 3: Torque ratio 3:1

At a ratio of 3:1, the 1st axis group member would deliver 90 Nm and the 2nd axis group member would deliver 30 Nm.
