Torque-proportioning differential with wedge block thrust bearing means

摘要: A differential apparatus is disclosed of the type including pairs helical pinions for transmitting torque from a rotatably driven carrier housing to pair side gears splined output shafts, respectively, characterized by provision collapsible and expansible wedge block spacer assembly maintaining shafts in spaced relation reacting axially inwardly directed thrust forces. During apparatus, introduced, when collapsed condition, into via transverse access opening, position between whereupon expanded supporting engagement with adjacent ends shafts. The includes three sections, end cover sections being arranged on opposite sides center section contoured configuration.
