DIFFERENTIAL OF ENHANCED FRICTION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: differential has housing, spider with conical satellites, and output semi-shafts and semi- gears connected with the shafts via end face cams. Between the housing and gears are friction disk clutches the driving disks of which are connected with the housing whereas the driven disks are connected with the gears. The grooves made in the housing of the differential receive flexible spring stacks each of which contains an assemble of preliminary compressed flexible members mounted inside the sleeve and bearing on the movable disk connected with the sleeve through grooves and stop ring. The disk interacts with the gear or disk stack that is mounted with a spaced relation to the housing. EFFECT: improved design. 3 cl, 7 dwg
