Abstract
A differential gear includes a cylindrical power transmission member, two cam members accommodated in an inner space of the power transmission member, and a plurality of cam follower members. Each of the cam follower elements is fitted to a respective one of a plurality of engagement grooves, formed on an inner peripheral surface of the power transmission member in an axially longitudinal direction thereof, such that the each of the cam follower elements partially sticks out of the inner space. The stick-out portions of the cam follower elements are interposed between cam lobes formed on opposing surfaces of the two cam members. Drive power of the power transmission member is distributed to the two cam members via the cam follower elements.
