Split Shaft

Powertrain device that splits rotational power into two output paths. Used for driving two systems from a single input, such as front and rear axles from a transfer case.

Powertrain device that splits rotational power into two output paths without differential action (equal speed, split torque). Used for driving two systems from a single input, such as a rigid coupling between front and rear axles.


Inherited Methods

This device inherits all methods and properties from the Powertrain Base Device.

Shaft

Simple rotational connection between powertrain components. Transmits torque and speed with configurable friction and inertia. Used for driveshafts, half-shafts, and axles.

Supercharger

Engine-driven forced induction compressor that provides boost pressure proportional to engine RPM. Delivers linear, predictable power gains without turbo lag.
