LAS VEGAS, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Diversified industrial manufacturer
Eaton Corporation (NYSE: ETN), will display its full line of performance
differentials this week at the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association
(SEMA) show. New at SEMA this year, Eaton introduces the ELocker(TM), a fully
controllable locking differential compatible with today's electronic vehicle
systems such as ABS and stability control systems.
The Electronic Locker, providing an enhanced level of traction on variable
terrain and surfaces, offers maximum traction for the severest driving
conditions, yet behaves like an open differential when not engaged. The
ELocker(TM) also provides flexibility to the vehicle manufacturer by providing
multiple control options ranging from computer supervised, driver selectable
operation to fully automatic operation. In an era when having a vehicle
stranded or stuck is a serious concern to the driver, the Electronic Locker
provides added assurance that the vehicle will reach its destination.
In addition to the introduction of the ELocker(TM), Eaton will showcase
its line of "rebuildable" Aftermarket Limited Slip Differentials. This
"clutch pack" designed unit employs race-bred carbon friction discs to
restrict relative wheel rotation in order to provide more driving force to the
wheel with the greatest traction. Eaton "Posi" performance differentials go
back to the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s, where these limited slip
differentials gained credibility in the market. Eaton carries this reputation
into its current and future designs for domestic and import vehicle
applications intended to expand the product line into other
high-performance/racing applications.
Eaton performance differentials will be on display with Eaton's Aeroquip
Performance Products at booth 11005, located in the Las Vegas Convention
Center, beginning today and running through November 1, 2001. Eaton's
market-leading superchargers will be showcased by Magnuson Products at booth
10856. Magnuson, the authorized distributor of Eaton brand superchargers,
will feature complete Eaton-based supercharger systems for the aftermarket.
