ARB’s Air Locker stands apart through its patented clutch gear and timed locking system, which actively supports side gear teeth under load, which allows higher torque handling exactly when traction demand is greatest.
- Key engineering advantages include:
- Two-piece design with minimal moving parts for extreme durability
- Wave spring return system using multiple internal springs for fast, positive disengagement without external actuators
- Forged pinion and side gears with optimized tooth geometry offering up to 30% greater strength than comparable high-strength gears
- Steel-reinforced, elastomer-bonded annular seal proven through 20,000+ engagement cycles in extreme climates
- One-piece machined nodular iron case with double the standard number of pinion gears for superior torque distribution
- This design delivers consistent locking performance while maintaining long-term reliability in both competition and hardcore trail use.
