An electric drive system in a battery electric vehicle (BEV) includes an output shaft, configured to couple with a drive wheel of the BEV, having a face gear at a distal end; a differential, including a pinion gear cage receiving pinion gears rotatably connected to the pinion gear cage via gear pins; and a housing that receives the differential having an outer surface that is configured to couple to a rotating electrical machine of the BEV, wherein the pinion gears engage the face gear and permit angular displacement of the output shaft relative to another output shaft.

Differentials with face gears for electrical drive systems

A differential assembly having a case and a ring gear. The ring gear is mounted to the case and may include a mounting flange and a set of teeth. The mounting flange may have a fastener hole. The set of teeth overhangs the fastener hole such that the set of teeth extend further toward the axis than at least a portion of the fastener hole.

Differential assembly having an overhanging ring gear

An axle assembly having a planetary gear set. The planetary gear set may include first and second sets of planet gears that may mesh with a sun gear and a planetary ring gear. The second set of planet gears may be spaced apart from the first set of planet gears and may be positioned in counterphase with the first set of planet gears.
