The ARB Dana 70/80 Air Locker is engineered for applications running numerically lower gear ratios, making it ideal for heavy duty tow rigs, expedition vehicles, and mixed use off-road builds.

With the flip of a dash mounted switch, compressed air activates the pneumatically operated locking mechanism inside the differential, preventing the axle shafts from rotating independently. This fully locks both wheels to the ring gear for maximum traction when needed. When disengaged, the differential operates like a standard open unit, allowing smooth handling, reduced driveline wear, and safer operation.

Tech Insight

ARBs patented locking system supports the side gear teeth directly, providing increased torque handling exactly when needed. The two-piece design minimizes moving parts while maximizing strength and reliability. A steel reinforced, elastomer bonded annular seal has been proven to withstand 20,000+ engagement cycles in extreme climates.

The high speed Air Locker is optimized for lower numerical gear ratios, making it a strong choice for highway driven rigs that still demand dependable off-road traction.

Key Design Features:

• Bonded Annular Seal Steel reinforced for extreme temperature durability
• Flange Cap Assembly Billet-machined alloy steel spider block
• Splined Side Gears Forged nickel alloy steel with surface treatments
• Wave Spring System Up to 12 return springs for fast, positive disengagement
• Clutch Gear Design Patented timed locking for superior torque transfer
• Long Cross Shaft High-pressure running fit for extreme abuse
