Abstract:
A limited slip differential gear comprising:a pair of divided first and second gear cases that are turned by a driving force of an engine;a pressure ring provided in the second gear case and movable in the direction of wheel axles;pinion shafts each having an end that is freely engageably supported between the pressure ring and the first gear case and positioned in recesses of the pressure ring and recessed grooves of the first gear case;pinion gears turnably supported by the pinion shafts;a pair of side gears meshing with the pinion gears positioned therebetween for transmitting the driving force to the wheel axles; anda multiple disc clutch mechanism provided between the second gear case, the side gears and the pressure ring for limiting differential motion of the side gears when the pressure ring is moved in an axial outward direction;wherein the side gears are capable of performing differential motion by a pressing force produced when the ends of the pinion shafts are pressed against the recesses of the pressure ring.
