Abstract
A differential for the axle drive of a motor vehicle has a cage in the interior of which the axle shaft gears are guided and on which they are supported. For absorbing the forces acting in the direction of the axle drive shafts, the cage is made of a tube section and has at least two diametrical bores for the receiving and leadthrough of the axle drive shafts. As a result, the differential can be manufactured with a reduced weight and lower cost while having a high stiffness.
