ABSTRACT:
A transmission includes two drive shafts of equal length, each flexibly drivingly coupled at its outer end to a driven wheel; a differential axially located closer to a first one of the wheels and further from the other, which has a first power output shaft extending towards the first wheel which is flexibly drivingly coupled at its outer end to the inner end of the one of the drive shafts whose outer end is drivingly connected to the first wheel, and a second power output shaft extending towards the other wheel; an intermediate shaft, flexibly drivingly coupled at its inner end to the outer end of the second power output shaft, and flexibly drivingly coupled at its outer end to the inner end of the one of the drive shafts whose outer end is drivingly connected to the other wheel; a bracket, mounted at one end to a fixed member; and a deep groove radial ball bearing. The outer race of the ball bearing is fixedly mounted to the other end of the bracket, and the inner race of the ball bearing supports an outer part of the intermediate shaft and is fixedly mounted to it. The radius of the cross section of the inner race groove is approximately 0.52 times the diameter of the ball bearing balls, while the radius of the cross section of the outer race groove is approximately 0.60 times the diameter of the balls.
