Abstract:
A differential drive (11) having one differential carrier (13) rotating in a housing (12), two side shaft gears (20, 21) arranged coaxially relative to said differential carrier (13), and two sets of differential gears (24, 25) which are supported in the differential carrier and rotate therewith and which each engage one of the side shaft gears (20, 21), wherein said side shaft gears (20, 21) are crown gears and said differential gears (24, 25) form two sets of straight pinions which rotate on radial journals (26, 27) in said differential carrier (13), with said pinions of said two sets directly engaging one another in pairs so that, when said differential carrier (13) is stationary, said side shaft gears (20, 21) are able to rotate in identical directions.
