CTS Turbo WAVETRAC 02Q TRANSMISSION 10.309.175WK

Enhanced No-Load Bias Ratio via its Wave Design Center Pack

Experience exceptional performance and improved grip with the CTS Turbo WAVETRAC 02Q TRANSMISSION 10.309.175WK. This advanced torque biasing differential overcomes the limitations of typical differentials under zero or near-zero torque conditions. Unlike open differentials that lose drive, the WAVETRAC differential utilizes a revolutionary patent-pending design, featuring converging/diverging wave profiles on the side gears and preload hub.

The precisely engineered wave profiles cause the surfaces to climb each other as the side gears rotate relative to each other. This movement creates a separation, resulting in an increased normal force through the side gears. The increased normal force translates into a higher bias ratio, providing improved grip and traction in low traction conditions. Importantly, this increased bias ratio activates only when necessary, seamlessly reverting back to its nominal bias ratio to ensure optimal drivability and performance at all times.

What sets the WAVETRAC differential apart is its ability to be tailored to your specific needs. It comes equipped with carbon-fiber bias plates that deliver exceptional all-around performance. Additionally, you have the option to purchase interchangeable plates with different friction coefficients. These plates allow you to fine-tune the bias ratio, adjusting the differential's response to applied torque load.

The torque load from the differential pinions into the housing generates an axial load, which is then considered a normal force into the friction plate. The effective coefficient of friction determines the resistive torque applied to the rotational motion of the differential pinions. The non-uniform resistive torque, dependent on the axial load, contributes to the bias ratio and energy absorption within the differential.

Not only does the WAVETRAC differential excel in performance, but it also boasts superior design, materials, and construction. Its gear tooth forms are optimized for strength and enhanced oil film retention compared to competing designs. The gear package is smaller, reducing overall mass while maintaining exceptional durability. The side gear/axle interface receives special attention, ensuring maximum material thickness, which is crucial for high power levels.

Crafted from the highest quality materials available, each Wavetrac Differential is built to withstand the demands of high-performance applications. The internal gears are constructed from high strength 9310 alloy steel, while the differential bodies are machined from case-hardened steel billet. To guarantee reliability and longevity, only high-quality, high-strength fasteners from ARP, the world leader in fastener technology, are used in the assembly of every Wavetrac differential.

Upgrade your vehicle's performance and grip with the CTS Turbo WAVETRAC 02Q TRANSMISSION 10.309.175WK. Trust in its innovative design, customizable bias ratio, and top-notch construction to deliver an exceptional driving experience. Take your drivetrain to new heights of performance today.
