Drive-force-distribution control device

摘要

A drive-force-distribution control device includes an input-side bevel gear and an output-side bevel gear, a center shaft, left and right clutches, a housing, a bearing and a shim member. The output-side bevel gear is supported on the center shaft such that the output-side bevel gear meshes with the input-side bevel gear. The housing can be divided in the radial direction of the output-side bevel gear. The bearing is disposed at one end of the center shaft. The shim member is inserted in an axial-direction gap between the housing and the bearing. The output-side bevel gear and the center shaft can be attached to the housing from the radial direction. The axial end of the center shaft is located towards the other end with respect to the axial end of the bearing.

主权项

1. A drive force distribution control device comprising:
an input-side bevel gear for inputting a drive force from a power source; a center shaft having an output-side bevel gear for meshing with the input-side bevel gear; a housing being divided in a radial direction of the output-side bevel gear, the output-side bevel gear and the center shaft being mounted to the housing; a bearing disposed at a first end of the center shaft; and a shim member disposed in a gap formed about a center longitudinal axis of the center shaft between the housing and the bearing; an axially endmost part of the first end of the center shaft being located closer to a second end of the center shaft than an axially endmost part of the bearing that faces away from the second end of the center shaft, the center shaft, the housing and the shim member being configured such that the shim member is removable in the radial direction from the gap without requiring removal of the center shaft from the housing.
