AUDI Quattro drive with crown gear center differential developped with help from ASSAG
The new center differential from Audi follows an innovative principle. Its cylindrical housing is driven by the transmission. Inside it there are two rotating crown gears that owe their name to the crown-like design of their teeth. This new gearing is called Evolvere®. The rear crown gear drives the propshaft to the rear axle, and the front one an angular-running beveloid shaft that runs to the front axle’s differential.
The crown gears are driven by four straight-cut compensating gears arranged at angles of 90 degrees to each other. They are pivot-mounted on the axles that are fixed to the housing. This allows the equalization of speeds between the front and rear axles that is needed when cornering, for instance.
