Abstract
A bevel gear differential includes an axis of rotation, a first differential cage having an oil opening, a second differential cage connected to the first differential cage at a first connecting region, a differential gear, first and second output gears, and a cap. The first and second differential cages are driveable to rotate about the axis of rotation. The first output gear is rotatable about the axis of rotation and meshed with the differential gear, and the second output gear is aligned with the first output gear, rotatable about the axis of rotation, and meshed with the differential gear. The cap is axially open on both axial sides. The cap surrounds the first differential cage to cover the oil opening at a distance so that a filling level of an oil within the first differential cage and the second differential cage is maintained during operation of the bevel gear differential.
