Vehicle Driveline Component Having A Differential With Asymmetric Differential Gearing
A vehicle driveline component having a limited slip differential with a differential gearset and a pair of clutch packs received in a differential case. The differential gearset employs side gears that are meshed with first differential pinions, which are mounted about a first pin axis, and second differential pinions, which are mounted about a second pin axis that is not perpendicular to the first pin axis. The teeth of the first differential pinions are formed with drive side having a first pressure angle. The teeth of the second differential pinions are formed with a coast side having a second pressure angle that is different from the first pressure angle. The teeth of the side gears are asymmetric and have a first side, which is formed with the first pressure angle, and a second side that is formed with the second pressure angle.
Differential apparatus
A differential apparatus includes a differential gear mechanism in which side gears mesh with pinion gears, a pinion shaft that rotatably supports the pinion gear, a slide member that supports the ends of the pinion shaft, and pinion gear washers each disposed between the slide member and a corresponding one of the pinion gears. Movement of each pinion gear washer toward the slide member in the axial direction of the pinion shaft is restricted. When a force of the pinion gear pressing the pinion gear washer toward the slide member is less than a predetermined value, a clearance is formed between the slide member and the pinion gear washer. When the force of the pinion gear pressing the pinion gear washer toward the slide member is greater than the predetermined value, the outer surface of the pinion gear washer abuts the inner surface of the slide member.
Cross-shaft for three pinion differential
A differential gear mechanism includes a differential case, a first and second side gear, a first, second and third pinion gear and a center block. The differential case can define a first, second and third counterbore formed therearound. The differential case rotates around an axis of rotation. Each cross-pin can have a cylindrical pin body that extends between first and second ends. The first, second and third pinion gears intermesh with the first and second side gears to form a torque transfer arrangement. The center block can have a cylindrical body that defines a first, second and third locating feature thereon. The center block can be disposed between the first and second side gears. Each first end of a respective cross-pin is received by a corresponding counterbore of the differential case. Each second end is received by a corresponding locating feature of the center block.
Differential having compact bevel cross shaft retention using internal retainers
A differential gear mechanism constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure can include a differential case, a clutch pack and a plurality of lock pins. The differential case can include a first differential case portion that defines a first output shaft opening and includes a plurality of clutch ear guides and a plurality of lock pin engaging surfaces. The clutch pack can include a plurality of annular plates that are interleaved between a plurality of annular friction disks. At least one of the annular plates and annular friction disks can include a plurality of radially extending plate ears that are received by the corresponding plurality of clutch ear guides. The plurality of lock pins can be received by the plurality of first lock pin engaging surfaces of the first differential case at locations in-line with the clutch ear guides.
Multi-axis metallic processing bevel head
A bevel head assembly is shown capable of fine motor control of a cutting tool (for instance, a laser or plasma cutter) in three simultaneous dimensions of movement. A rack-and-pinion system moves the bevel head assembly and cutter up and down in the Z-axis while a rotational motor attached to the rack-and-pinion system moves the bevel head assembly in a first rotational (X) axis, and a linear actuator pivotally connected to the cutting tool is mounted to the rotational motor to move the bevel head assembly in a second (Y) rotational axis.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING DRIVE MOTOR
An example electronic device may include a first housing, a second housing coupled to be slidable from the first housing, a flexible display supported by the first housing and the second housing and having a display area that varies based on the second housing being slid in or slid out. The electronic device may include a stopper assembly disposed in the first housing. The stopper assembly may include a stopper body elastically coupled to at least a portion of the first housing, and a pressing member coupled to the stopper body and configured to come into contact with a protrusion located in the second housing, wherein, in a slide-out state, the stopper body is at least partially disposed in a recess in the second housing by pressure from the pressing member being pressed by the protrusion.
BEVEL GEAR PAIR
In a bevel gear pair, a first gear (G1) and a second gear (G2) are applied with tooth top modification, and a ratio of a distance (L1b) from a pitch circle (P1) to a starting position (R1) of the tooth top modification to a distance (L1a) from the pitch circle (P1) to a tooth top (T1) in the first gear (G1) is larger than a ratio of a distance (L2b) from a pitch circle (P2) to a starting position (R2) of the tooth top modification to a distance (L2a) from a pitch circle (P2) to a tooth top (T2) in the second gear (G2). Thus, the bevel gear pair that can achieve smooth meshing is provided.
MULTI-SPEED GEARBOX AND ASSEMBLY METHOD
Methods and systems for a clutch cartridge are provided. The clutch cartridge includes, a dog clutch including a clutch ring slidingly engaged with a tube shaft and including a first toothed interface and a second toothed interface, where the dog clutch is designed to selectively engage a first gear and a second gear. The clutch cartridge further includes a first bearing coupled to the tube shaft and the first gear and a second bearing coupled to the tube shaft and the second gear.
Vehicle system
According to various embodiments, a mechanical differential assembly for a wheeled vehicle is disclosed including a housing, a pinion gear operable to both rotate relative to the interior surface of the housing and be fixed relative to the interior surface of the housing, and a clutch portion fixed to the pinion gear.
Interrupter and differential
An interrupter includes: an intermittent member having a meshing tooth meshing with a second rotary member, and moving in an axial direction between a coupled position and an uncoupled position; and an actuator making the intermittent member move in the axial direction. The actuator includes: a coil generating magnetic flux; and a plunger moving with the intermittent member in the axial direction. The plunger is disposed in a manner capable of making relative rotation to one of the first and second rotary members via first and second air gaps. When the coil is energized, the magnetic flux is introduced to the plunger from one of the first and second air gaps, the magnetic flux is led out of the plunger to the other air gap, and the plunger moves in the axial direction so as to reduce at least one air gap of the first and second air gaps.
