    The document describes the power train of a 6x6 vehicle. It has a transfer case with two selectable drive ratios and a neutral position selected via air solenoids. It can drive a second integrated differential. The vehicle has standard differentials on the front and rear axles, with an additional differential and drive on the second axle engaged via the transfer case. The transfer case splits power 50/50 between front and rear. It can engage an inter-axle differential lock via air cylinder. Warning lights and switches indicate power train status.

    General description of 6 X 6 drive

    1. Transfer case
    Output drive from the Allison transmission is connected via a drive shaft to a
    combined transfer case and differential. The integrated differential is selectable to
    drive the second axle if required.
    The transfer case consists of drop gears, which give two selectable drive ratios and a
    neutral position. Selection is via an integral air cylinder, with one fixed and one
    floating piston; both being attached to the selector shaft. This arrangement gives three
    positions via sequential air delivery from three external air solenoid valves, which are
    energised by cab mounted push button control switches to give the desired ratio or
    neutral position (see figure 1).
    The selector shaft is held in the selected position by a detent ball & spring, allowing
    only momentary actuation of the control solenoids while the control buttons are
    pressed. Highway & low range are both indicated by warning lights (H8 highway &
    H6 low range) in the driver’s cab. The warning lights are controlled by two switches,
    which are actuated by the selector shaft (S70 highway & S7 low range). Neutral
    position does not have any warning light. An integral inter-axle power divider with a
    power split of 1:1 gives the necessary proportional power division to the drive axles,
    50% being to the front and 50% to the rear.
    The internal inter-axle differential lock can be engaged in case of traction being lost.
    Operation of the inter-axle differential lock is via an integrated air cylinder, which is
    actuated by an external solenoid valve, when selected by the driver’s cab switch.
    Drive for the integrated (wheel drive) differential is by an additional set of drop gears,
    which can be connected to the transfer case output shaft by a sliding dog coupling.
    The inter-axle locking is common to the transfer case inter-axle differential lock and
    the second axle additional drive selection. Switches are installed (S62/S54
    respectively) to indicate additional drive/inter-axle lock status via warning lights
    (H4/H3 respectively) in the driver’s cab

    2. Differentials

    2.1 Standard differential


    This is fitted to the first and second axle lines and incorporates a transverse/cross
    differential lock. Operated by an integrated air cylinder, this engages a sliding dog
    coupling to inhibit the differential function when selected via the driver’s cab switch.
    Both are monitored by switches S1 & S3 respectively, controlling warning light H7.

    2.2 Additional drive differential


    This is fitted to the second axle line and in normal highway operation the drive passes
    through the differential to the third axle. When the longitudinal/inter-axle locks are
    engaged an integrated air cylinder engages a sliding dog coupling to connect the
    second axle to the drive train. The differential also incorporates a transverse/cross
    differential lock, which is monitored by switch S2, controlling warning light H7.

    The view above shows power distribution in highway travel; the second axle is not
    connected to the drive power. Engagement of the inter-axle/long lock automatically
    engages the second axle drive. To enable operation of the inter-axle/long or
    transverse/cross locks it is conditional that the transfer case is in low range.
    Note: Axle & transfer case differential locks should only be used when traction is
    lost. While in use, the vehicle should be steered in a straight line with the minimum
    of power. Use of differential locks above standard axle weights, on non-skid ground
    or while turning may cause component failure.
