DIFFERENTAL CARRIER VIBRATION CONTROL STRUCTURE FOR AUTOMOBILE

摘要

PURPOSE: To suppress wind-up owing to reaction force at a moment when shaft torque is transmitted and to reduce tooth striking noise owing to an impact to a level lower than an audio limit. CONSTITUTION: The thickness of a differential carrier 21 extending further to the front side than an acceleration shaft rotation center 22 is increased and weight required for damping of wind-up vibration is increased. Since inertia around the rotation center of an acceleration shaft is increased by increase in the weight, rapid wind-up is suppressed and the generation of tooth striking noise due to an impact is reduced.
