Abstract

1,224,034. Differential gearing. KIRKSTALL FORCE ENG. Ltd. 27 June, 1969 [27 June, 1968], No. 30770/68. Heading F2D. An hydraulically or pneumatically operated frictional (as shown) or positive (not shown) lock-up clutch 27 (mechanism A) for a conventional motor-vehicle bevel gear differential 20-22 between a pair of half-shafts 23 of a steerable axle unit (as shown) or non-steerable axle unit (Fig. 3, not shown), comprises a multidisc friction clutch having inner and outer plates 28, 30, splined respectively to a collar 29, fast on a half-shaft 23, and a sleeve 31, connected by a dog coupling 32 to the bevel differential cage 20, and engaged by hydraulic operation of a spring released two-part annular piston 33, 36, the hydraulic fluid being supplied via a line 25 and duct 24 to the inner piston part 36 which is secured against rotation by pins 37 and carriers, via a thrust bearing 35, the outer piston part 33 which directly engages the clutch plates 28, 30 and supports around its periphery the piston (i.e. clutch) release springs 34. As shown, two such looking mechanisms A, B are disposed on opposite sides of the differential housing 16, the first A being operative as above, and the other B serving as a standby in the event of failure of mechanism A whereby a sealing plug 26 may be removed and the hydraulic line 25 connected thereto for operation in the same manner as for mechanism A. In the simplified non-steerable axle-unit of Fig. 3 (not shown) the clutch and operating piston are similarly simply mounted in the differential casing in a separate chamber adjacent the bevel differential gear compartment.
