Abstract

See full text

A limited slip differential having a differential gearset and a cam-type limited slip mechanism. The differential gearset has a plurality of differential pinions that are journally supported by a cross-shaft. The cross-shaft is supported by a rotatable cross-shaft carrier. The limited slip mechanism includes a clutch pack, a pressure ring, a plurality of first cams, which are coupled to the cross-shaft carrier for rotation therewith, and a plurality of second cams that are coupled to the pressure ring. The first cams cooperate with the second cams to convert rotation of the cross-shaft carrier to translation of the pressure ring to thereby control engagement of the clutch pack.
