New ARB Air Lockers
Over the last few months ARB’s team of Air Locker
engineers has been hard at work developing new
product to further expand the already large range
available.
An ARB Air Locker is a driver controlled replacement
locking differential that essentially ‘locks’ the two front
or two rear wheels so they don’t turn independently.
When a standard vehicle experiences a loss of
traction, power is automatically sent to the path of least
resistance (usually the wheel with little or no traction),
resulting in no forward movement. However, when an
Air Locker is activated, power is sent equally to both
wheels, so they turn together and the vehicle can often
simply drive out of trouble. Additional benefits include
a more controlled driving approach and less reliance
on momentum, resulting in reduced damage to both
your vehicle’s components and the environment.
A new rear Air Locker is now available to suite the
Toyota 4 Runner (2009 On) and the Prado 150 Series,
giving vehicle owners the chance to fit both front and
rear Air Lockers for the ultimate in traction. Featuring
ARB’s patented ‘timed’ locking mechanism that offers
high strength and ultra fast unlocking, this Air Locker
will give your vehicle instant traction in steep or
unpredictable conditions.
Built from high quality materials and designed and
made in Australia, the Air Locker is trusted in over 100
countries and is used in competition and performance
applications around the globe.
ARB has also been expanding its performance model
range of Air Lockers and has recently released a Dana
60 model to suit heavy duty 40 spline aftermarket axle
shafts, and ring and pinion sets with a ratio of 4.10 : 1
or numerically lower.
The performance model range has been designed
for special applications such as competition rock
crawling and heavy duty machinery operations where
aftermarket axle shafts are fitted that have larger
than standard diameter splines. These Air Lockers
need to be both larger and tougher than standard
models to accommodate the massive amounts of
torque they endure. Customers should note that ARB’s
performance range does not fit a vehicles’s original
equipment axle shafts, only non-standard, aftermarket
types.
