ABSTRACT:
An axle assembly is provided for transmitting power between a vehicle's drive shaft and the driven wheels of the vehicle. The axle assembly includes at least two crown wheels that are rotatably fixed together and at least two driven gears that are rotatably coupled to the drive shaft of the vehicle. The axle assembly also includes at least two driving gears coupled between the at least two driven gears and the at least two crown wheels, and a mechanism coupled to the drive shaft between the at least two driven gears for rotating each of the driven gears in a direction that is different from the rotation of the other driven gear. A method for varying the axle ratio of an axle assembly and a method for adjusting the backlash in an axle assembly are also provided.
