[0046] Referring to FIG. 1A, a differential 10 and outer peripheral portions 19a, 19b surrounding the differential 10 are shown. As shown in the figure, the differential 10 is engaged with a drive pinion member 20 extending to the left. The drive pinion member 20 rotates to transmit power to the differential 10 . In addition, the differential device 10 has shafts 17a, 17b connected thereto, as shown in the vertical direction of the figure. When the shafts 17a, 17b receive power from the drive pinion member 20 they rotate. A differential support structure 1 rotatably supports the differential 10, drive pinion member 20 and shafts 17a, 17b relative to outer peripheral portions 19a, 19b or other similar fixed members.

[0047] The differential 10 basically has a drive pinion part 20 , shafts 17 a and 17 b , a pinion shaft 18 , a ring gear 8 , pinions 14 a and 14 b , side gears 9 a and 9 b and a differential housing 15 . The shafts 17a and 17b each have an end with two wheel me...

[0067] Referring to FIG. 6, this embodiment provides a differential device support structure in which deep groove ball bearings 7a-7d are used instead of tapered roller bearings 1a-1d.

[0068] The deep groove ball bearing 7a includes an outer ring 2a, an inner ring 3a, a ball 6a and a cage 5a. The outer ring 2a is provided at an upper, inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral portion 19b (see FIG. 1A ). The inner ring 3 a is provided to be fitted at an upper end portion of the differential 10 . The balls 6a are located between the outer ring 2a and the inner ring 3a, and are rotatably held by the cage 5a. The deep groove ball bearing 7b includes an outer ring 2b, an inner ring 3b, a ball 6b and a cage 5b. The outer ring 2b is provided at a lower inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral portion 19b. The inner ring 3 b is provided to be fitted at a lower end portion of the differential 10 . The balls 6a are located between the outer ring 2b and the inner rin...

Abstract

A structure (1) supporting a differential (10) rotatably includes an inner ring (3a-3d) arranged at the differential (10), an outer ring (2a-2d) arranged at an external peripheral portion (19a,19b) formed to surround the differential (10), and a tapered roller (4a-4b) rolling between the inner ring (3a-3b) and the outer ring (2a-2b). At least any one of the inner ring (3a-3d), the outer ring (2a-2d), the tapered roller(4a-4d), the shaft and gear components are made of steel and are carbonitrided, quenched, cooled and subjected to a secondary quench hardening treatment. The hardened components have a carbo-nitrided layer with an austenite grain number falling within a range exceeding 10, which provides a fracture stress value of at least 2650 MPa and has a hydrogen content of no more than 0.5 ppm. Thus the structure can be provided with increased anti-crack strength and dimensional stability, and increased rolling contact fatigue life.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application with the applicant being NTN Corporation, the filing date being February 27, 2004, the application number being 200410008248.9, and the title "Differential Device Supporting Structure and Method for Manufacturing the Structure". technical field [0002] The present invention relates generally to a differential support structure, a differential component, a method of manufacturing a differential support structure and a method of manufacturing a differential component, and more particularly to a differential support structure, a differential component with extended life and resistance to fatigue . A method of manufacturing a differential device support structure and a method of manufacturing a differential device component. Background technique [0003] Deep groove ball bearings, tapered roller bearings and other similar rolling bearings are formed from rolling elements, bearing rings and cages. When the rolling elements roll...
