What is an auto-blocker used for?

The principle of a self-locking system allows, when there is a loss of grip on the wheels of the car, to redistribute more power to the other wheels which still have the most grip on the road (In the case of a 2 drive wheels). Imagine that in a car race or a run on asphalt and the wheels bite on the grass, you would agree that the grip will not be the same between the wheels on the road and the wheels on the road. rolling on the part that contains grass, this is where the locking system comes in, it will compensate for this loss of grip by sending more power to the wheels with the most grip on the road.

Characteristics :

• The quaife self-locking devices are progressive (they offer safety for the steering).
• The calibration is not fixed (it varies continuously according to the loss of traction).
• Quaife interlocking devices do not use discs.
• They don't jerk in the direction.
• The maintenance is very simple.
