AIR LOCKER DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

A relentless commitment to research and design, the use of high quality materials and an uncompromising approach to manufacturing have all contributed to Air Locker’s success in over 100 countries worldwide. The patented design of the ARB Air Locker is extremely strong, with structural components manufactured from aerospace grades of alloy steel.

Recent developments have seen forged gears and an improved two piece design add increased strength and durability, while reducing the amount of moving parts to ensure precision amongst components and a much firmer and responsive activation. These additions have also resulted in increased load bearing capabilities.

The design process of an Air Locker involves countless hours of testing. Computerised Finite Element Analysis (FEA) allows the engineer to subject each Air Locker design to ‘virtual’ off road driving stress simulations much more extreme than those experienced in real life, including extreme temperatures and harsh wheel-spin. Prototypes are tested to ensure the strength of the Air Locker exceeds that of the axles or other driveline components. Finally, field testing is carried out with units being fitted to 4x4s that operated in the harshest environments imaginable.

Once this exhaustive design phase is complete, ARB Air Lockers are manufactured in Australia by ARB and sold throughout the world.

For peace of mind, all ARB Air Lockers are backed by an industry leading five year warranty.

AIR LOCKERS IN COMPETITION

Of the many ARB products seen in off road competition, it’s the one you can’t see that makes the difference – ARB Air Locker diff locks continue to dominate the world’s toughest off road events.

ARB Air Lockers are used in extreme off road competitions the world over. ARB’s commitment to research, development, design and production means ARB Air Lockers set the benchmark for quality and reliability – two things crucial to competition use. So if you need traction you can rely on, rely on ARB Air Lockers….the world’s best already do.

PERFORMANCE MODEL LINE

ARB Air Lockers are available for the vast majority of 4×4 vehicles from around the world. In addition, a number of high performance models are available for specialist applications such as drag racing, competition rock crawling and heavy tank-track type snow equipment.

Designing locking differentials for applications such as these presented our engineering team with some significant challenges. Not only must the locker be able to withstand more traction torque than a standard differential, but it must also tolerate massive amounts of torque handling facilitated by the substitution of custom made high alloy aftermarket axle shafts, which are cut with larger than standard diameter splines. This is particularly difficult owing to size constraints dictated by the original axle assembly. ARB met this challenge using a combination of aerospace grade materials, and a design guided by the results of high torque testing using computer simulations and destructive testing.
