ABSTRACT:
A differential gear mechanism is provided of the type including a gear case (17), at least one pinion gear (21), and a pair of side gears (27 and 29). Clutch packs (43 and 45) are disposed between the side gears and the gear case and are operable, when engaged, to retard relative rotation between the gear case and the side gears. Surrounding the gear case is a fluid pressure mechanism (71) including a cylinder (73) and a piston (75), both of which are rotationally stationary, but free to move axially. Adjacent the piston-cylinder assembly is a pair of reaction members (61 and 63) which transmit the axial displacements of the piston and cylinder, by means of members (57 and 59), to a pair of load plates (53 and 55), such that the displacements exert axially-outward biasing forces on the side gears and on the clutch packs. Because the piston-cylinder assembly is external to the gear case, no rotating seals are required. In addition, because the hydraulic biasing forces act in the same direction as normal gear reaction forces, less hydraulic force is required to actuate the clutch packs.
