Torque management is the system that controls how much torque is sent to the wheels. It is important because it helps to prevent wheel slip and improve traction control. There are three main types of torque management: electronic, hydraulic, and pneumatic.
Electronic torque management is the most common type. It uses sensors to monitor wheel speed and slip. When slipping is detected, it sends a signal to the electronic control unit (ECU) which then reduces torque to the wheels. This helps to prevent wheel spin and maintain traction.
Hydraulic torque management is less common but it does have some advantages over electronic systems. First, it can be used on any type of vehicle regardless of whether or not it has an ECU. Second, it responds faster than an electronic system because there is no need for a sensor signal to reach the ECU before action is taken.
Pneumatic torque management systems are the least common type but they offer some unique benefits. They are often used in race cars because they can respond very quickly to changes in conditions (such as when a tire loses grip on the track). Additionally, they tend to be more durable than other types of systems since there are no electronics or sensors that can be damaged by vibration or extreme temperatures.
