Un système à différentiel implique, par définition, l'existence de deux contacts (ou positions) de commande ou d'impulsion (marche-arrêt, enclenchement-déclenchement, etc.) entre lesquels il existe une sorte de point mort, une zone "inactive". C'est l'intervalle entre les deux valeurs, minimale et maximale, provoquant l'action des contacts respectifs, qui s'appelle le différentiel.  4, record 2, French, - appareil%20de%20r%C3%A9gulation%20%C3%A0%20diff%C3%A9rentiel
