ABSTRACT:
A drive axle for a light vehicle includes a chain drive and a differential, which comprises a differential cage (2) with a long neck (6, 7) at both sides, balance pinion gears (13) and two axle pinion gears (16), with the axle pinion gears (16) being journaled radially and axially in the differential cage (2). Proximal ends of axle shafts (21, 22) are plugged in the axle pinion gears (16) and at the distal ends of the necks (6, 7) in radial bearings (19) of the differential cage (2) and are supported further outwardly in a fixed bearing (33, 34) connected to the vehicle. The axle pinion gears (16) have conical parts (17) at their rear side remote from the balance pinion gears (13) and can cooperate with a conical inner wall of the differential cage (2).
