Italian term or phrase: pozzetti di ancoraggio
Hello everyone,

I would need some help with this phrase:

"Si tratta di un dispositivo che interpone ai satelliti dei pozzetti di ancoraggio che nel momento in cui le ruote presentano velocità di rotazione differenti vanno a comprimere pacchi di lamelle metalliche."

The context is an automatic-locking differential for a racing car.

As far as I understand:
satelliti = planetary gears
pozzetti di ancoraggio = ???

Perhaps these references might help (not so much for me, though!):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicyclic_gearing

Thanks a lot!

pressure rings
Explanation:
lamelle = friction (clutch) plates
mozzo di anchoraggio = pressure ring
They’re calling them “pozzetti” but as far as I know they’re called “mozzi” di anchoraggio.

When torque is increased even further, a third stage of clutch pack loading comes into play. When engine torque is applied, the drag reaction of the bevel gear shaft will force the pressure rings to slide outwards and each set of clutch plates is therefore squeezed together increasing the locking effect.
