Differential Unit

Differential Unit







The differential unit is driven from the intermediate shaft through a Morse chain. The outer casing of the differential unit is the differential input, while the sun gear provides the front output and the planet carrier the rear output.

The planet carrier contains three sets of gears, which mesh in pairs to maintain the correct directional relationship between front and rear differential outputs. The rear output shaft passes through the differential unit, engaging with the planet carrier and protruding through the sun gear shaft to locate to the VCU inner spline. The sun gear shaft locates to the VCU outer spline.
