    Diagram of an epicyclic gearing system An epicyclic differential uses epicyclic gearing to send certain proportions of torque to the front axle and the rear axle in an all-wheel drive vehicle. [ citation needed ] An advantage of the epicyclic design is its relatively compact width (when viewed along the axis of its input shaft).

    Isometric projection of a grub screw with a hex socket head.. Set screws are not always the best way to resist the torque of driven shafts. To reduce the chance of slipping and to increase load capacity, a detent (often called a "flat") may be milled or ground at the part of the shaft where the set screw's point contacts.
