A differential carrier case with an inserted pipe for high pressure casting may include a mold core into which a first end of a pipe is inserted, a mold core pin fixed to the mold core to fix the mold core and the first end of the pipe, a drive core pin inserted into a second end of the pipe, and a thick portion surrounding an outer portion of the pipe.

A differential housing for a differential unit of a vehicle. The differential housing is configured for receiving a differential and an end portion of each of two drive shafts connected by means of the differential. The differential housing has a longitudinal axis. It comprises a peripheral wall which has a substantially tubular shape, and defines an inner space. The differential housing includes at least one hole which extends through the peripheral wall; and a valve mounted in said hole, the valve being configured to allow the passage of oil towards the inner space, and to allow the passage of oil from the inner space towards the outside only below a predetermined valve closing force.

A system for regulating lubricant temperature within a vehicle axle is provided. A differential housing has a primary chamber that contains the differential, and a secondary chamber separated from the primary chamber. A sump is in the primary chamber for collecting lubricant. An inlet to the secondary chamber allows the lubricant to flow from the primary chamber into the secondary chamber. An outlet to the secondary chamber allows the lubricant stored therein to be purged into the sump. When the lubricant is below a certain threshold temperature, a temperature-responsive valve is configured to close to inhibit the fluid to travel through the outlet. When the temperature of the lubricant rises to exceed the threshold, the valve is configured to open and permit the fluid to travel through the outlet.

There is provided a work vehicle including a partition wall to keep partition between a first space zone as part of an internal space of the transmission case in which a differential mechanism is located and a second space zone as part of the internal space which is adjacent to the first space zone. An upper space is disposed above the partition wall and configured to allow lubricating oil scooped up from the first space zone by a ring gear to flow in the second space zone. A flow-out path is disposed below the upper space and configured to allow the lubricating oil to flow out of the second space zone to the first space zone.

An electrical drive unit includes an electric motor having a first transverse end and an opposite second transverse end, and a gearbox including a main gearbox portion and a transverse projection portion. The motor is attached to the gearbox at the second transverse end of the motor and is located on a first transverse side of the main gearbox portion in a first transverse direction. The transverse projection portion of the gearbox includes at least one gear of the gearbox and extends from the first transverse side of the main gearbox portion such that the transverse projection portion and at least a portion of the at least one gear extends in the first transverse direction beyond the second transverse end of the motor.

A differential gear device for a vehicle including a housing, a pinion shaft provided inside the housing, a pinion gear respectively mounted on both ends of the pinion shaft, and a pair of side gears respectively disposed on both sides of a width direction of a vehicle and engaged to the pinion gear. A disconnector actuator system is coupled to one side gear and a drive shaft is coupled to the other side gear among the pair of the side gears. The differential gear device for the vehicle includes a noise reduction unit provided between the cover to which the drive shaft is coupled and the other side gear to prevent a whine noise from being generated between the pinion gear and the other side gear during the operation of the disconnector actuator system.
