Abstract
A differential with a differential action limiting mechanism includes a differential mechanism D for distributing the drive force of an internal combustion engine inputted into a differential caseto a left-hand axle shaftand a half shaftwhich continuously connects to a right-hand axle shaft for output therefrom and friction clutchesL,R for limiting differential rotations of the left-hand axle shaftand the half shaftrelative to the differential case. An actuator A for generating an engagement force for bringing the friction clutchesL,R into engagement is provided outside a housingfor accommodating therein the differential case, whereby an engagement force generated by the actuator A is transmitted to the friction clutchesL,R via the half shaft
