  • Patent number: 9810306
    Abstract: In a differential device, paired side gears include shaft portions and intermediate wall portions formed in a flat plate shape intersecting an axis of the output shafts, the intermediate wall portions integrally connecting the shaft portions to toothing portions of the side gears separated outward from the shaft portions in a radial direction of an input member, respectively. Each of the intermediate wall portions is formed with a width in the radial direction which is longer than a maximum diameter of a pinion. A cover portion includes a boss portion and a side wall portion connected to the boss portion and having an outer side surface as a surface orthogonal to the axis of the output shafts. A back surface of at least one of the intermediate wall portion and the toothing portion is supported on an inner side surface of the side wall portion.

  • Patent number: 7951036
    Abstract: Disclosed is a differential transmission unit featuring active controlling of the moment distribution. Said differential transmission unit comprises a differential transmission (4) with two output shafts (6, 7), the cage (5) of said differential transmission (4) forming the input member, and one respective controlled frictional clutch (22, 26) that is associated with an output shaft. The primary part (22) of the clutch is drivingly connected to the input member (5) while the secondary part (26) of the clutch is drivingly connected to the associated output shaft (6, 7), at least one of the driving connections being provided with an increased or reduced transmission ratio.

  • Patent number: 6425840
    Abstract: A differential gear for distribution of torque between a forward driven wheel shaft and a rear driven wheel shaft on a vehicle in which the rear wheel shaft can be raised has an input shaft (3) which via differential pinions (6) is in engagement with a rear differential wheel (7) connected to an output shaft (4). The input shaft (3) and the rear differential wheel (7) are mutually supported via a bearing (15) which transmits axial forces between them. This bearing is fitted with preloading to eliminate axial play.

  • Patent number: 5286239
    Abstract: A rotation transmitting device having an outer ring formed with a bore, a holder fixedly mounted in the bore and rolling elements mounted in the holder so as to be rollable as the outer ring rotates. A pair of input shafts are provided coaxially with an axis of rotation of the outer ring so as to sandwich the rolling elements from both sides thereof. Output shafts are rotatably mounted in the bore at both sides of the input shafts. Cages are rotatably mounted between the output shafts and the outer ring and formed with pockets. Engaging elements are mounted in the pockets and adapted to be engageable between opposite surfaces of the outer ring and the output shafts with relative rotation between the cages and the output shafts in either direction. Elastic members are mounted in the pockets to keep the engaging elements in a position where they are not engaged.
