Abstract:
1. A differential comprising: a differential casing configured to be rotatably driven by a motor under a driving force; a differential mechanism comprising a pair of first and second side-gears for distributing a torque of the differential casing to first and second output shafts; a frictional clutch for interconnecting the first and second output shafts, the frictional clutch comprising, an actuator for operating the frictional clutch, wherein the first side-gear and the first output shaft connect to each other using the first power-transmitting member, wherein the second side-gear connects directly to the second output shaft, wherein the second power-transmitting member and the second side-gear connect to each other through the second output shaft, and wherein one output shaft of the first and second output shafts is axially displaceable by the actuator under an engagement force to engage the frictional clutch.
