Depending on the type and application, there may be some slip allowed, i.e. the two wheels are not connected to one another directly, like in the case of the viscous, clutch, and cone types. In other cases (like the locking-type differentials), the wheels are directly linked while in the locked position. | Depending on the type and application, there may be some slip allowed, i.e. the two wheels are not connected to one another directly, like in the case of the viscous, clutch, and cone types.

The lunchbox locker, or "drop-in" locker is a type of automatic locker that replaces the side (axle) gears and spider (pinion) gears (in some/most types) of a diff. The pinion gears referred to here are NOT the same as the pinion gear that meshes with the ring gear. Instead, they're the smaller gears in the center of the diff that allows the two wheels to rotate at different speeds when turning, etc. | The lunchbox locker, or "drop-in" locker is a type of automatic locker that replaces the side (axle) gears and spider (pinion) gears (in some/most types) of a diff.
