Zusammenfassung:The description is directed broadly to a locking differential, comprising; a pair of rotating bevel gears engaged with one another via at least one pinion gear rotatably supported within a carrier; a locking member disposed within the carrier and engagable with each of the bevel gears, the locking member being movable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, such that in the unlocked configuration the locking member allows free rotation of the bevel gears in engagement with the at least one pinion gear to equalise torque between a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear of the pair, and in the locked configuration the locking member locks the first bevel gear to the carrier and locks the second bevel gear to the carrier, simultaneously, to prevent relative movement therebetween.
