Abstract
A differential gear for transmitting a torque to an axle of a motor vehicle including a differential basket, a bevel gear, first and second output shafts, and a multi-plate clutch. The bevel gear includes inner and outer circumferential surfaces. The bevel gear is supported by a contact surface of the differential basket with respect to a radial direction. The output shafts have a common rotary axis, the first output shaft forming a positive connection with the bevel gear with respect to a circumferential direction via a outer circumferential surface of the first output shaft and the inner circumferential surface of the bevel gear. The multi-plate clutch provides for selectively connecting the first output shaft with the differential basket and includes an inner plate carried by a section of the outer circumferential surface of the bevel gear and an outer plate carried by the differential basket.
