AIR LOCKER ARB (Differential Lock)

WHAT IS A DIFFERENTIAL LOCK FOR?

When we do 4x4, the engine power is always lost through the wheel that has less traction, for example when we do a trial and one wheel remaining in the air, all the force of the engine is lost through that wheel.  This happens because the original differential has to allow the wheels to rotate freely, so that, for example, when we pass a roundabout, the outside wheels rotate faster than the inside ones.

The solution is found in higher-end cars. high (like the Rubicon or the G Wagon) that incorporate 100% manually lockable differentials as standard. 
At sahara4x4 you can buy a cheap differential lock.
These differentials rotate freely for driving on the road and allow them to be locked to pass through complicated areas in the mountains. 
What ARB has achieved is to be able to install this type of locks 100% in cars that do not originally have the lockable differential can be installed. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?  Easy as pressing a button button from the inside. 

The driver can activate or deactivate the differential lock from the inside the vehicle, just by pressing a button you will activate the rear or front lock.
Remember to buy all the accessories in s a h a r a 4 x 4, you can always have the best quality at the best price.
The main advantage is being able to deactivate it when driving  on surfaces with great grip and can be activated in situations where we need great traction capacity at low speed. 
It is so simple that you only need to press the button of the lock you want to connect (front and rear). For safety reasons, the rear one will always be connected first and then the front one.

2- Maximum performance in Off Road and more control

Sand, snow, mud and stones, in all these situations a blockage increases the chances of overcoming the obstacle.
On downhills the speed is also increased. safety and control of the vehicle.

Activating rear brake lock engine is more effective since the vehicle does not lose traction and slides forward when the rear wheel is engaged.
A vehicle that has ARB locks can be driven with greater control, much more slowly and in a less abrupt manner.

This not only reduces wear, but also minimizes the likelihood of damage to the bearing, as well as the rest of the mechanical parts.

3-More resistant and reliable than the normal differential

< /span>

The vast majority of Locks use four pinion gears instead of the two commonly found in most standard differentials.
This causes a differential to be in most cases 100% harder.

FORGED GEARS

The strength, durability and fatigue resistance of all the components of the Air Locker is essential. By applying high forces to the side gears and pinions within the differential, ARB has dedicated special effort to the use of forged gears, which are typically seen in commercial cargo vehicles, competition and agricultural machinery transmissions. When combined with ARB's patented “timed gear” design, the strength of the entire assembly is increased.

TWO-PIECE DESIGN

Housing this large gear complex inside a two-piece case provides increased benefits. Manufacturing a two-piece shield instead of three results in higher dimensional accuracy of the final assembly and this has allowed ARB engineers to improve the design of other elements, providing reduced movement of moving parts, greater strength and a more immediate activation.

GUARANTEE

For complete peace of mind, all ARB Air Lockers come with a full 5-year, unlimited kilometer warranty. With an extensive network of national and international ARB stores and distributors, you can be sure that we will be there to support you in the unlikely event that any problems arise.

4-Immediate traction

The Air Locker is extremely quick to engage or disengage.
Recommended by the experts of your sahara four by four shops.
Closing/opening of the unit takes place in approximately 0.1 second.

5-Air on board

The Air Locker uses an ARB air compressor as a means of activation. This compressor is also perfectly adaptable for inflating tires.
You can put the normal CKSA compressor, the one that allows you to inflate CKMA tires, and the ARB double piston compressor. To be able to inflate wheels you must add the PUKT kit to have the hose and adapter. And if you want you can also add a pressure gauge to control the pressure of the wheels.

ATTENTION : * The compressor is sold separately and we have left the links at the bottom of this article .

6-Installation in the car:

When an Air Locker is installed, you just have to replace the original differential with the ARB one, make a hole in the housing to pass the air tube and install the compressor with the wiring . 

In this video you can see how to replace the differential in a Land Rover Defender. 

7-Maintenance

This differential does not require any more maintenance than that recommended by the car manufacturer, the normal differential fluid specified by the manufacturer is applied at the recommended maintenance intervals. . 

8- Original spare parts

Another advantage with ARB differential locks is that we can obtain a complete breakdown of the most common parts, so after many years you will be able to replace the parts with wear. 

Remember to buy these products in centers that Be Official ARB distributors like us, we have been selling original ARB products since 2000.
