Bevel Gear Differential With Conical Spherical Gear Seats
View pageUS Patent:
47335785, Mar 29, 1988
Filed:
Dec 31, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/947982
Inventors:
Jack G. Glaze - Fort Wayne IN
Terry L. Oster - Auburn IN
Terry L. Oster - Auburn IN
Assignee:
Dana Corporation - Toledo OH
International Classification:
F16H 140
F16H 139
F16H 139
US Classification:
74713
Abstract:
A tandem axle assembly includes an interaxle differential mechanism coupled to divide power between two separate axle differential assemblies. Each axle differential assembly includes a pair of pinion gears having spherical gear seats and a pair of side gears having conical gear seats. Each axle differential assembly is rotatably supported within a housing by a pair of tapered roller bearings. The outer race of each bearing is located within an end of a differential case, while the inner race is positioned on a reduced diameter hub of a bearing retainer threaded into an opening in the housing. The opening in the housing is sized such that the bearing retainer having the inner race and an associated roller cage assembly thereon can be inserted therethrough during the assembly process. Also, the interaxle differential includes a separate lubricant sump for providing lubrication to the interaxle differential upon initial start-up conditions. One of the interaxle differential side gears is disk-shaped, and includes internally formed side gear teeth in a planar rear face, internally formed clutch teeth in a planar front face, and external teeth around the radial periphery.
Three Mode Differential
View pageUS Patent:
45260630, Jul 2, 1985
Filed:
Feb 19, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/350541
Inventors:
Terry L. Oster - Waterloo IN
Assignee:
Dana Corporation - Toledo OH
International Classification:
F16H 144
F16D 4700
F16D 4700
US Classification:
747105
Abstract:
A limited slip axle differential mechanism for a vehicle provides for three distinct modes of axle operation, each selectable by a single operator control function. The mechanism provides for conventional axle differentiation, biased differentiation, or operation as a solid axle system. In a preferred embodiment, two separate clutching systems are employed jointly or singularly in providing respective modes of operation, wherein the choices of mode, and, to a lesser extent, resultant driving conditions, determine resultant relative rotations of the vehicle wheels and associated axle shafts.
Angled Vehicle Axle Assembly
View pageUS Patent:
52037509, Apr 20, 1993
Filed:
Oct 18, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/779385
Inventors:
Terry L. Oster - Auburn IN
Kraig J. Schlosser - Auburn IN
Kraig J. Schlosser - Auburn IN
Assignee:
Dana Corporation - Toledo OH
International Classification:
F16H 138
US Classification:
475230
Abstract:
A vehicle axle assembly includes a pair of output shafts having a first rotational axis, an input shaft having a second rotational axis oriented at an angle which is not perpendicular to the first rotational axis of the pair of output shafts, and an intermediate shaft having a third rotational axis oriented at an angle which is perpendicular to the first rotational axis of the pair of output shafts. The input shaft includes a first gear of a first gear set disposed between a pair of tapered roller bearings. A pinion nut attached thereto exerts a clamp force, which is prevented from affecting a preloading force on the tapered roller bearings by a shoulder formed on the input shaft. The intermediate shaft includes a second gear of the first gear set, wherein the first gear set forms an angled connection between the input shaft and the intermediate shaft for achieving a first reduction. The intermediate shaft further includes a first gear of a second gear set which interacts with a second gear of the second gear set to achieve a second reduction.
Interaxle Differential For Tandem Axle Assembly
View pageUS Patent:
47548479, Jul 5, 1988
Filed:
Dec 31, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/947983

Terry L. Oster - Auburn IN
Assignee:
Dana Corporation - Toledo OH
International Classification:
F01M 910
F16H 5704
F16H 5704
US Classification:
184 612
Abstract:
A tandem axle assembly includes an interaxle differential mechanism which includes a separate lubricant sump for providing lubrication to the interaxle differential during both initial start-up and normal running conditions. One of the interaxle differential side gears is disk-shaped, and includes internally formed side gear teeth in a planar rear face, internally formed clutch teeth in a planar front face, and external teeth around the radial periphery. The interaxle differential is coupled to divide power to two separate axle differential assemblies. Each axle differential assembly includes a pair of pinion gears having spherical gear seats and a pair of side gears having conical gear seats. Each axle differential assembly is rotatably supported within a housing by a pair of tapered roller bearings. The outer race of each bearing is located within an end of the carrier, while the inner race is positioned on a reduced diameter hub of a bearing retainer threaded into an opening in the housing.
