#CMT# #/CMT# The box has an outer race (5) and a cover (4), which are connected with each other by a riveted joint (7) that is produced by rivets (8). The rivets are formed as a single-piece at the outer race or at the cover and have a conical shape. The rivets have two areas of different conical angles at their axial length. A drive wheel is fastened between the cover and the outer race by the rivets. The cover, outer race and the rivets are made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method of manufacturing and assembling of a differential box. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for retaining and guiding components of a differential gear in a passenger car. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The rivets are formed as a single-piece at the outer race or at the cover, thus eliminating the need for separate rivets for producing the rivet joint, and hence manufacturing the differential gear box in a space-saving, stable, flexible and simple manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a half-section of an assembled differential gear box. 1 : Differential gear box 4 : Cover 5 : Outer race 7 : Riveted joint 8 : Rivets #CMT#METALLURGY : #/CMT# The cover, outer race and the rivets are made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. |
