Les palans différentiels sont des palans à chaîne, dans lesquels le système réducteur est constitué par deux poulies à alvéoles de diamètres inégaux calées sur le même arbre, et dont le nombre d'alvéoles est différent. Ces deux poulies, qui forment la partie supérieure du palan, sont complétées par une poulie inférieure munie d'un crochet. La chaîne sans fin, qui sert à la fois de chaîne de manœuvre et de chaîne de levage, passe une fois sur la grande poulie du haut, une fois sur la poulie du bas, remonte sur la petite poulie du haut, et se termine en bouche pendante, dont l'un des brins attaque la grande poulie du haut. 3, record 1, French, - palan%20diff%C3%A9rentiel

D'après les sources LGRAN (Grand Larousse encyclopédique) et ENMAA (Encyclopédie de la manutention), le palan différentiel est nécessairement à chaîne. Il serait donc redondant de préciser «palan différentiel à chaîne». Par contre, d'après QUENC (Dictionnaire encyclopédique Quillet), le palan différentiel peut être à corde ou à chaîne. 4, record 1, French, - palan%20diff%C3%A9rentiel
