The invention relates to a spur gear differential (1), in particular for motor vehicles, comprising a planet carrier (2) for circulating about a differential axis (X), a first output spur gear (3), which is arranged coaxially to the differential axis (X), a second output spur gear (4), which is likewise arranged coaxially to the differential axis (X), and at least one pair (5) of planet gears (6, 7) that mesh with one another, said pair being rotatably arranged in the planet carrier (2), each planet gear (6, 7) meshing with one output spur gear (3, 4). At least one of the output spur gears (3, 4) and/or of the planet gears (6, 7) is conically toothed in such a way that, when the planet gears (6, 7) rotate relative to one another, the at least one of the output spur gears (3, 4) and/or of the planet gears (6, 7) is moved into a position in which a blocking effect is brought about. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for producing a spur gear differential (1) of this type.

A differential assembly having a differential case, a differential gearset, a clutch pack and a preload spring. The differential gearset is received in the case and has a side gear and one or more differential pinion shaft members onto which differential pinions are rotatably mounted. The clutch pack is received in the differential case and has a plurality of first clutch plates, which are axially slidably but non-rotatably coupled to the differential case, and a plurality of second clutch plates that are interleaved with the first clutch plates and axially slidably but non-rotatably coupled to the side gear. The preload spring abuts the one or more differential pinion shaft members and the side gear and biases the side gear away from the one or more differential pinion shaft members to preload the clutch pack.

According to various embodiments, disclosed is 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.

A differential assembly includes a first case half. A second case half is connected to the first case half. The first and second case halves define a gear chamber. The first and second case halves each include pockets formed therein. A differential gear set is disposed in the gear chamber. First and second clutch packs are disposed in the pockets between the first and second case halves and differential gear set. The clutch packs engage the first and second case halves and the differential gear set defining a limited slip. A locking collar is disposed in a cavity formed in one of the first or second case halves. An electric actuator mechanism is coupled to the locking collar selectively moving the locking collar into engagement with the differential gear set locking the differential.

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.
