DIFFERENTIALS WITH FACE GEARS FOR ELECTRICAL DRIVE SYSTEMS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250091432 titled 'DIFFERENTIALS WITH FACE GEARS FOR ELECTRICAL DRIVE SYSTEMS
Original Abstract Submitted
an electric drive system in a battery electric vehicle (bev) includes an output shaft, configured to couple with a drive wheel of the bev, having a face gear at a distal end; a differential, including a reduced diameter pinion gear cage receiving reduced axial length pinion gears rotatably connected to the reduced diameter pinion gear cage via gear pins; and a housing that receives the differential having an outer surface that is configured to couple to a rotating electrical machine of the bev, such that the reduced axial length pinion gears engage the face gear and permit angular displacement of the output shaft relative to another output shaft.
