Title:

LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL INCLUDING IMPROVED CLUTCH MEMBER AND ADAPTER SLEEVE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2003029672

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A locking differential includes a pair of annular coaxially-arranged axially-spaced clutch members (48) having adjacent faces that contain cam gooves (50) that receive a driving cross pin (44), cooperating locking lugs (78) and grooves (80) being provided on the adjacent faces of the clutch members for preventing relative rotation therebetween. The cross pin (44) extends diametrically across a supporting sleeve (40) that is non-rotatably mounted concentrically within the central chamber of the cylindrical housing of the differential, thereby permitting the differential to be retrofit into various differential casings.
