Abstract
A downsized torque vectoring device in which a passive rotation of an actuator is prevented. A torque vectoring device comprises: a differential mechanism that allows a differential rotation between a first rotary shaft and second rotary shaft; an actuator that applies torque to the differential mechanism to rotate the rotary shafts at different speeds; and a reversing mechanism that allows the rotary shafts to rotate in opposite directions. The reversing mechanism comprises a first control gear set and the second rotary shaft arranged coaxially around the rotary shafts, and gear ratios of the first control gear set and the second control gear set are set to different values. A speed increasing gear set and a speed reducing gear set are arranged between a prime mover and an output shaft of the actuator, and ring gears of the speed increasing gear set and the speed reducing gear set are connected to each other.
