Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a gearing for a terminal reduction gear reducing the backlash of the terminal reduction gear so as not to interfere with the mesh of gears by providing a plate spring between a differential gear case and the back face part of a gear part formed of a side bevel gear meshed with a pinion bevel gear to rotate an axle. CONSTITUTION:A side gear 7 part is provided with a plate spring 12. The engaged part of the radially outward part 13 of the plate spring 12 with the back face part of the side gear 7 is formed into the taper face 13a, and the engaged part of the radially inward part 14 of the plate spring 12 with a differential case 6 is formed into the tapered face 14. Accordingly, at the time of small torque travel where input torque applied to the plate spring 12 is small, the flexural quantity of the plate spring 12 is in the zero state, and the side gear 7 and a pinion gear are rotated in the state of almost no backlash. At the time of normal travel or start, the plate spring 12 bends, and appropriate backlash is obtained by the mesh of the side gear 7 and pinion gear. In the case of impulsive high torque being applied, this torque is absorbed by the plate spring 12.
