Differential - UGears

This product is suitable for ages 14 and above. Warning: Choking hazard! It has small parts, so it's not for kids under 3. The model comes with a Pocket Model Study Guide that includes a creation story, mechanism design, and fun tasks. Dive into Augmented Reality (AR) through the Ugears app. Discover how the Differential is used in a production line and interact with it. The Differential is a cool educational model that helps you learn the basics and working principles of the mechanism. It's designed to let the drive wheels on the same axle rotate at different speeds and cover different distances. This mechanism allows cars to turn smoothly without wheel skidding, reduces tire wear, and makes driving easier. After assembling the Differential, you can unlock it by pushing the lever to position 1 (Up) and make the wheels move by rotating the drive gear or the wheel. The Control lever can lock the left and right wheels separately. When the lever is in the 'down' position, both wheels are rigidly connected and can either rotate together or lock at the same time.

Using the Differential is easy. First, assemble the model following the instructions in the Pocket Model Study Guide. Once assembled, you can unlock the mechanism by pushing the lever to position 1 (Up). Then, you can make the wheels move by rotating the drive gear or the wheel. To control the wheels, use the Control lever. Turning it left or right will lock the left or right wheel independently. When you put the lever in the 'down' position, both wheels will be connected and can either rotate together or lock at the same time. Remember, this product has small parts, so keep it away from children under 3 to avoid choking hazards. To maintain the Differential, keep it clean and dry. Avoid dropping or hitting it hard as this may damage the mechanism. If you have any questions, refer to the study guide or contact our customer service.
