Abstract

See full text

In a differential device which includes: a cross-shaped shaft body integrally including a first shaft and a second shaft orthogonal to each other, and configured to rotate integrally with an input member around an axis of the second shaft; a pinion pivotally supported on the first shaft; and a pair of side gears meshing with the pinion, the side gears respectively include small-diameter holes supporting the second shaft such that the second shaft passes through the small-diameter holes, and large-diameter holes continuous to outer ends of the small-diameter holes via step surfaces. The large-diameter holes respectively house fixing members connected to both end portions of the second shaft so as to block the side gears from coming off the second shaft, and output shafts are relatively unrotatably fitted in inner peripheral surfaces of the large-diameter holes outside the fixing members in an axial direction.
