Description

Part #: RD180

The world's premier traction aid, an ARB Air Locker(TM) keep you moving in all conditions. With the flick of the switch an Air Locker gives instant lock at any moment and its super strong design allows activation at any speed allowing you to tackle the toughest terrain. The advantage of the Air Locker lies in the pneumatically operated locking system inside the differential. When activated, the Air Locker prevents the internal differential gears from rotating and therefore prevents the axle shafts from turning independently of each other. With both wheels tied directly to the rotation of the ring gear, the vehicle maintains maximum possible traction at all times. When unlocked, it operates like a conventional open differential. An Air Locker equipped vehicle can be driven in a slower, safer and more controlled manner, greatly reducing the likelihood of vehicle damage and environmental impact.

Features:

  • Provides 100 percent traction on demand without affecting on-road drivability or driveline wear
  • Easy, convenient operation allows the user to concentrate on the terrain without leaving the comfort and safety of the driver's seat
  • Two-piece design is ultra-durable and extremely strong ? minimal moving parts ensure maximum reliability
  • Patented ?timed' locking mechanism offers high strength and ultra-fast unlocking
  • Steel reinforced, elastomer bonded annular seal designed to handle the most extreme climatic temperatures on Earth
  • Kit includes: Air Locker differential, activation switch, solenoid valve, air line and bulkhead fitting
  • Air compressor required for operation (sold separately)

MIA's Description

Unmatched traction aid for Nissan Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51. Sold as a Single item. Ever wondered how a genuine ARB Air Locker is manufactured? Wonder no more as we put you inside the machines that make the world’s best 4×4 traction aid, right here at our global headquarters in Melbourne, Australia. Of the many ARB products seen in off road competition, it’s the one you can’t see that makes the difference. ARB Air Lockers continue to dominate the world’s toughest off road events as they are used by some of the biggest names in off road competition. All models include a 2-piece nodular steel housing for rigidity and exacting tolerances, housing four forged and hardened pinion gears to handle extreme axle loads. ARB’s patented ‘timed gear’ design and high-temperature resistant seals ensure responsive activation under the most extreme climatic conditions on earth. In order to continually improve the product, our engineers are constantly trying to break Air Lockers. We even built a specialised test rig to allow us to place torques on the Air Locker far in excess of what’s possible in the field. In this static torque failure test, we used a high performance Dana 44, 33 spline diff with the best axle shaft we could get our hands on to put the Air Locker to the ultimate test. Those who enjoy heading off the beaten track in their 4×4 know that even the most familiar tracks can present you with unexpected conditions. Whether you’re up against a steep incline, uneven & rocky terrain or a slippery muddy track, being able to take advantage of traction is one of the most important elements. In a vehicle with open differentials in 4WD mode, drive can only go to two wheels at any given time. At the flick of a switch, an ARB Air Locker can send equal drive to both wheels on an axle allowing you to take advantage of the wheels that have traction and push forward along the track. For total peace of mind, all ARB Air Lockers are backed by a comprehensive, five year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Coupled with ARB’s extensive domestic and international network of stores and distributors, you can be sure we’ll be there to support you in the unlikely event of an issue.
