Abstract:
A limited slip differential for a vehicle comprising: a carrier containing lubricant and rotatable about a first axis; a pinion gear arranged within the carrier and rotatable about a second axis; a side gear arranged within the carrier and engaged with the pinion gear; and a clutch pack arranged within the carrier and rotatable about the first axis, the clutch pack comprising a captive disk and a floating disk, each of the captive disk and the floating disk have a central aperture, a peripheral region, and at least one lubrication aperture, the captive disk having an inner lubrication aperture arranged proximal to the respective central aperture and an outer lubrication aperture arranged proximal to the respective peripheral region, and the floating disk having an intermediate lubrication aperture arranged between the inner aperture and the outer aperture, whereby rotation of the floating disk relative to the captive disk causes lubricant to travel from the central apertures to the peripheral regions by progressively passing from the inner lubrication aperture to the intermediate lubrication aperture, and to the outer lubrication aperture.
