Abstract
For Sports-Utility, Off-Road and Light Truck application, a new, permanent 4x4„double offset” type of Transfer Case is under development by SFT, which extends the state of the art by introducing an extremely compact, modular combination of proven elements to form a unit which can meet the requirements of different, modern 4x4 system configurations. The specific arrangement of components results in reduced cost and weight, lower noise, and high manufacturing flexibility for a number of options, such as fully synchronized High-Low shift, motorized High-Low shift, mechanical or VC differential lock, front axle shut-off, additional power take-off, and transmission brake.
The first unit is designed for a maximum input torque of 1250 Nm and, according to market requirements, can be supplemented with units of different torque capacity to form a new generation of Transfer Cases.
