According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an electronic locking differential gear mechanism having a lock detection mechanism for sensing and indication of a locked and unlocked state of the locking mechanism. The electronic locking differential gear mechanism includes an electronic stator which, when activated, makes frictional contact with a grooved surface of a ramped collar, whereby the ramped collar is rotated about an axis of the mechanism. The ramps of the ramped collar axially displace a plurality of push rods, which displace a locking collar and cause it to engage with a locker gear, placing the mechanism in a locked state."
The patent application was internationally filed on Feb. 16, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/025079.
