Abstract: A differential carrier (11) for a differential drive, which differential carrier (11) is supported so as to be rotatable around its longitudinal axis (A) and which is rotatingly drivable, having two output gears (18, 19) supported in the differential carrier coaxially relative to the longitudinal axis (A), and having four differential gears which are rotatably supported on a cross member with four bearing arms extending radially relative to the longitudinal axis (A) and being held in the differential carrier (11) and said differential gears engage said output gears (18, 19), wherein two first cross member bearing arms positioned opposite one another are connected to one another and form at least one central transverse aperture (38) and that two second cross member bearing arms positioned opposite one another are produced separately from one another and, by means of their inner ends (28, 29) are inserted into the at least one transverse aperture (38).

Abstract: In a differential drive having one differential carrier rotating in a housing, two side shaft gears are arranged coaxially relative to said differential carrier, and two sets of differential gears are supported in the differential carrier and rotate therewith and each engage one of the side shaft gears. The side shaft gears are crown gears and the differential gears form two sets of straight pinions which rotate on radial journals in the differential carrier, with the pinions of the two sets directly engaging one another in pairs so that, when the differential carrier is stationary, the side shaft gears are able to rotate in identical directions. In a differential drive having two differential carriers rotating in a housing, two side shaft gears are arranged coaxially relative to said differential carriers, and two sets of differential gears are supported in the differential carriers and rotate therewith, and each engage one of the side shaft gears.
