<p>There is provided a self torque-balancing differential mechanism (2), including two concentric counter-rotating wheels, rotatable about a central shaft (24), mutually reacting and balancing a torque of a motor drive (20) interacting with the wheels, the motor drive being concentrically or eccentrically attached to one of the wheels to power the wheel and an element coupled thereto. The motor drive has a rotor (12) connected with a second of the two wheels, to power the second wheel and the element coupled thereto. The motor drive is electrically fed via two slip-ring contactors (26, 28), and the central shaft has a carrier (22) for coupling another device thereto.</p> |
