Abstract
A differential device includes a differential case which is supported in a housing so as to be rotatable around an axis of the housing by a conical roller bearing including plural conical rollers provided between an outer race and an inner race. In the differential device, a wave spring having a predetermined elastic force is provided between the outer race and the housing. Also, the differential device includes a stopper mechanism which stops movement of the outer race before the wave spring is completely contracted due to movement of the outer race in an axial direction.
