Abstract:
1. A differential assembly for motor vehicles, adapted to transmit motion from an input shaft to a pair of coaxial output shafts; the assembly comprising: a ring gear adapted to be rotably fed by said input shaft about a rotation axis of the ring gear; a gear set to transmit the motion from said ring gear to said output shafts; the gear set comprising two reciprocally coaxial satellite gears, turnable along with said ring gear about said rotation axis, and rotatable with respect to said ring gear about a second axis orthogonal to said rotation axis; adjustment means of the position of said satellite gears; said adjustment means comprising a single spring coupled to both said satellite gears and exerting an elastic thrust pressure on both said satellite gears radially towards the rotation axis of said ring gear; wherein said spring is a leaf spring being C-shaped about the rotation axis of said ring gear.
