A device operationally similar to a conventional differential gear, comprises a number of roller elements 2 and 3 which are positioned in scallop within an outer drum 1, by frictional forces, governed by the demand of output shafts 9 or 10. The elements 2 or 3 transmit the torque from the outer drum 1 to inner hubs 4 and 5 via the reduced space within the scallops and the outer surface of the inner hubs 4 and 5. If either output shaft 10 or 9 increases rotational speed, the elements 2 or 3 associated with that shaft will travel to the clearance of the scallop and torque between outer drum 1 and relevant hubs 4 or 5 will cease with the torque then distributed to the output shaft 10 or 8, whereby output torque is distributed as required. <IMAGE> |
