How A Cusco LSD Works
Limited-Slip.com: > TECHNICAL SECTION > How A Cusco LSD Works

NOTE!
Two basic types of limited slip differentials are available depending on how the initial torque is created.

1. Type-RS
Low initial torque type using RS springs.
2. Type-MZ
Initial torque created by the cone plates.

NOTE!
Type RS for low initial torque.
With the Type RS, the initial torque is absorbed by the RS springs therefore the initial torque comes on gently compared to the Type MZ which comes on stronger as it uses cone plates and response of the LSD is better, as the friction is lower.

*Lower initial torque *Lower power loss *Reacts well to delicate pedal work *Durable and develops initial torque steadily
RS and MZ

Three ways to set your CUSCO limited slip differentials : one way, 1.5 way and two way.

One way L.S.D. specially suited for front wheel drive cars and 4WD car front axles.
Activates under acceleration, and acts as a true LSD when the throttle is off. A great chance for improved lap times.
A CUSCO original design.

1.5 way LSD
Activates under acceleration while the understeer is less than on the 2 way LSD.Recommended for drivers having difficulty with 2 way LSD understeer and one way LSD braking.

Two way LSD
Recommended on the rear axle for rear drive cars. Activates on both acceleration and deceleration. Recommended for those who
prefer hot driving action and big angle drift.

NOTE!
One Limited Slip Differential, Two Ways to Enjoy.
With CUSCO's LSD, you may change the setting during your overhaul with no additional parts required.
What is 1.5 and 2 way

A two cam type is available for FWD cars.

With CUSCO's One Way LSD for FWD cars, you can choose from two angles of activation: 35 degrees or 45 degrees. Angles may be selected on purchase or changed when the LSD is in for maintenance.

Selecting Ramg Angles

CUSCO's unique and original groove technology.

CUSCO's MZ plate grooves are cut radially enabling instant oil movement, enabling improved efficiency and durability.

The MZ plate surface is polished for an even contact with the pressure rings.

Also, CUSCO's Oil Through System enhances the efficiency performance.

Durability

Highly resistant parts with extreme efficient manufactured.

CUSCO's Oil Through System was possible by using high quality chrome molybdenium steel.
The internal side gears and pinion gears used are precise forged parts that enable compact yet durable gears that are able to cope with high horsepower applications. This in turn increases the internal oil capacity as well as the number of MZ clutch plates taking the load off each plate for further durability.

Gears

Maintaining Stability And Performance

CUSCO Oil Through System enables stability in high performance LSDs.

CUSCO's unique Oil Through System enables better oil flow inside the LSD for better efficiency. The casing made from CUSCO's unique technology allows the oil to flow from the wide end to the pressure rings and the MZ clutch plate for efficient lubrication. Making the LSD more stable and durable!

This was only possible with CUSCO's unique technology in manufacturing chrome molybdenium steel casings and gears that enabled a higher level of durability and a better flow of oil due to the large oil openings.
