Abstract: A differential including axle pinions and pinion gears and a body having two parts between which the pinions are mounted. The two parts of the body are provided with complementary guiding surfaces for guiding the two parts in adjustment relative to one another along an input and output axis. One of the two parts includes at least two inner guides for slidably and adjustably mounting a rotatable assembly pin of the pinion gears such that when a relative position of the two parts is adjusted, an axial play of at least the axle pinions or a differential drag torque is adjusted afterwhich the two parts are locked relative to each other.

Abstract: A one piece extruded differential side gear comprising internal splines which are used to connect to a drive shaft. The differential side gear includes outer circular gear teeth and defines a rectilinear blind hole in which an end portion of the drive shaft is received. The circular gear teeth and the blind hole are coaxially oriented along an axis of the differential side gear.

Abstract: The invention concerns a differential comprising axle pinions (5) and pinion gears (6) and a body (1) wherein are mounted said pinions. Said body (1) has two parts (2, 3) provided with complementary guiding means (11, 22). One of said two parts includes at least two inner guides (17) for mounting slidably a rotatable slave assembly pin (9) of the pinion gears (6). When the differential is assembled, the relative position of said two parts (2, 3) is adjusted so as to adjust the axial play of at least the axle pinions (5) or the differential drag torque. Then the two parts are locked relative to each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a differential side gear comprising internal splines (11) which are used to connect a drive shaft. The inventive differential side gear comprises circular gear teeth (3) and defines a rectilinear blind hole (4) which is used to house and connect an end portion of the drive shaft. Said differential side gear comprises a single forged piece. The aforementioned circular gear teeth (3) and the blind hole (4) are disposed in a coaxial manner and are centred on a rotation axis (X-X′) of the differential side gear.
