Differential gear assembly and method of assembly

A differential is provided comprising a casing 200 and a crown wheel assembly, with crown wheel 302, mounted on the casing 200. The differential is configured such that drive input to the crown gear 302 is transferred to side gears 500 via pinion gears (602, fig 13). Each side gear projects 500 from...

Zusammenfassung:A differential is provided comprising a casing 200 and a crown wheel assembly, with crown wheel 302, mounted on the casing 200. The differential is configured such that drive input to the crown gear 302 is transferred to side gears 500 via pinion gears (602, fig 13). Each side gear projects 500 from a respective side gear opening 218. Each side gear 500 has a first section adjacent the teeth (506, fig 3) having a first diameter and a second section (504, fig 13) distal the side gear teeth, outside the casing, having a second diameter; wherein the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter. This allows a more compact arrangement and a lower mass casing.
