ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a limited slip differential connected to a transmission of a vehicle for distributing torque transmitted from the transmission to first and second drive wheels in accordance with a driving state of the vehicle. The limited slip differential includes a torque distributor for controlling a differential operation which suitably distributes torque of the transmission between the first and second wheels when turning the vehicle, the torque distributor including a torque input member connected to the transmission to receive torque therefrom, a first torque transmitting member transmitting torque from the torque input member to the first drive wheel, and a second torque transmitting member transmitting torque from the torque input member to the second drive wheel. The limited slip differential further includes a differential limiting device for limiting the differential operation of the torque distributor by rolling and contacting between the first and second torque transmitting members when either the first wheel or the second wheel is on a slippery surface.
