  • Patent number: 11649882
    Abstract: A transmission device is formed by combining a planetary gear-type reduction gear and a differential device, wherein at least one of first and second planetary gear portions in a two-stage planetary gear has gear teeth that receive a thrust load due to meshing with opposing gear, a power-transmission case formed by joining a carrier to a differential case is rotatably supported on a transmission case. A pivot shaft of the planetary gear has one end thereof on the first planetary gear portion side supported on the power-transmission case via a first bearing and the other end on the second planetary gear portion side supported on the power-transmission case via a second bearing, and the thrust loads on one side and on the other side in an axial direction are supported only by the first bearing among the first and second bearings.
