Title Centrifugal Axle speed Governor of the Invention A reduction gear axle apparatus includes a differential gearing assembly positioned for driving a pair of coaxially arranged driving axle shafts. The apparatus includes a rotary input shaft disposed for coupling with a prime mover having a power modulating device. A centrifugal speed control governor is fixed to the input shaft, and the governor is operatively connected to the power modulating device for control thereof as a function of axle shaft speed. In one preferred form, the governor comprises a pair of plates with a plurality of slide weights circumferentially spaced about the plates. One of the plates is fixed to the input shaft while the other is slideable thereon. At least one plate contains cam surfaces wherein as the weights are centrifugally urged outwardly of the input shaft axis, the slideable plate is axially moved away from the fixed plate. This action causes an actuator arm to rotate, which effects control of the modulating device which is fixed through a spring to an external linkage assembly. |
