Abstract: A limited slip differential comprises a differential gear housing in which a differential bevel gear is mounted and which has a journal supported by a rolling contact bearing arrangement in a bearing opening of an axle casing. A locking clutch which operatively connects a half-shaft bevel gear meshing with the differential bevel gear to the differential gear housing, and which lies between an axial abutment immovable relative to the differential gear housing and an axially movable pressure disc, is engaged by means of a pin type pressure member which is adapted to be operated, with the aid of a rolling contact bearing, by an actuator of the axial piston-cylinder type. A half-shaft part is rotationally fixed to the half-shaft bevel gear and passes through the journal.

Abstract: A bearing support of a differential gear in an undivided axis housing with two substantially coaxial roller bearings arranged at approximately the same distance to and on different sides of the plane of the axes of rotation of differential bevel gears; each of the roller bearings supports a bearing neck of the differential gear housing within a bearing opening of the axle housing, whereby at least one of the roller bearings includes an outer race which is inserted directly into its bearing opening and is enlarged in its outer diameter, with respect to the corresponding standard diameter.
