Abstract
A differential drive train for driving two laterally opposite axially aligned driven units, for example wheel hubs, in the same rotational direction has a motor with a motor housing and motor shaft, with a shaft affixed to the housing so as to rotate in a direction opposite from the motor shaft. A planetary gear cluster is mounted adjacent an outer end of each of the shafts so as to provide a gear reduction between the shaft and an output gear. One of the planetary gear clusters drives its output gear, which is fixed to the driven unit, in a direction opposite from its input shaft. The input shafts extend through their respective planetary gear clusters so as to mount their respective driven units on bearings on the input shaft and drive the planetary gear cage. Between the motor and the planetary gear clusters, the input shafts extend through stationary tubes to which the stationary gears are affixed.
