ABSTRACT:
A double-acting differential having a differential case held together by coupling elements, a drive gear fixed to the case and within the case, output shafts, side gears, differential pinions, and a spider. It also has internally splined disks connected to the side gear, and externally splined disks connected to the case, and pressure springs arranged between the differential case and one of the side gears. A thrust plate is movable in axial direction and receives from one direction the axial force from the side gear and from the other side, through the splined disks, the reaction forces of the pressure springs. A lock ring limits axial movement of the thrust plate in case of a small torque, and a flange in the wall of the differential case supporting the splined disks, in case of a large torque. Between the side gear and the internally splined disk there may be a hub suitable for torque transmission and to be coupled between engaged and disengaged positions, and to which a sliding clutch sleeve may be connected by a shift fork.
