Abstract
A differential drive having a drivable differential carrier () which is rotatably supported in a drive housing, which comprises a longitudinal carrier axis, in which two axle shaft gears () whose axes extend co-axially relative to the longitudinal carrier axis are arranged and rotatably supported and in which a plurality of differential gears () whose axes extend radially relative to the longitudinal carrier axis are arranged and held so as to rotate with said differential carrier (,) wherein the axle shaft gears () engage the differential gears (;) and having constant velocity joints () which are positioned inside the differential carrier () and whose outer joint parts () are connected to the axle shaft gears () in a rotationally fast way, wherein the outer joint parts () and the axle shaft gears () connected to the outer joint parts () are positioned in the differential carrier () with radial play and are operationally engaged with at least three differential gears () for being self-centered on the longitudinal carrier axis.
