How are dimensions of differential determined by engine power and torque?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The dimensions of a differential are directly influenced by engine power and torque, as they determine the load and stress the differential must withstand. A differential functions as a gear train, necessitating careful design to ensure it can handle the specific power output and torque characteristics of the engine. Proper sizing and material selection are critical to maintain performance and durability under varying driving conditions.

What sort of dimensions?
 
A differential is fundamentally a gear train, and its design would be similar to any other gear system's design.
