  • Differential gear for vehicles
    Patent number: 7258646
    Abstract: Differential gearing for vehicles, having a gearing input and two gearing output shafts which exit on mutually opposite sides of a differential gearing housing from the differential gearing housing, having a differential holder which is arranged in the differential gearing housing in the area between the gearing output shafts, the differential holder being rotatably disposed in the differential gearing housing by means of a ball bearing arrangement which has a bearing prestress. At least one disk spring is provided which generates the bearing prestress of the ball bearing arrangement.
