  • Friction clutch differential axle
    Patent number: 4538713
    Abstract: A friction clutch in a rear axle assembly to provide differential operation. The friction clutch has variable capacity responsive to the torque loading on the axle. A helical spline coupling is positioned between the clutch and one of the axle shafts to cause compression of the clutch under high torque running. The spline coupling is located between the driving axle shaft and the clutch housing. A clutch spring extends between the clutch housing and the clutch plates and disks such that advancement of the clutch housing further compresses the plates and disks for increased torque capability.
