Limited-slip differential, used to drive dual-cable winches, synchronizes winding speeds and ensures equal loading of both cables.
Device uses differential gears to drive either one of two nut-screw assemblies. In event that one assembly jams, second assembly is driven at twice its normal rate with no loss in overall performance.
