11、The differential section of the transaxle has the same components as the differential gears in a RWD axle and basically operate in the same way. The power flow in transversely mounted power trains is in line with the whe

13、n gears rotate on their pinion shaft, transmitting more turning movement to the outer side gear than to the inner side gear. Thus, the side gear on the outer-wheel axle turns more rapidly than the side gear on the inner-

25、齒輪上（穿過差速裝置）是一個差速副齒輪柄，柄上是兩個差速副齒輪。每個后車輪上各有一個車軸，兩個車輪的內(nèi)側(cè)邊緣都有兩個齒輪夾板。這兩個差速副齒輪和兩個邊緣齒輪互相咬合。當(dāng)車在公路上直線行駛時，兩個差速副齒輪不在副齒輪柄上旋轉(zhuǎn)，但是它們施力于兩個邊緣齒輪，從而使邊緣齒輪和環(huán)行齒輪速度相當(dāng)，使兩個后車輪在轉(zhuǎn)彎時速度相同。差速裝置由兩個滾動的副軸承支持。這個裝置可以從一邊到另一邊進(jìn)行調(diào)節(jié)用以在環(huán)行齒輪，副齒輪和副軸承之間提供反撞。通過螺絲軸承的

27、動力。但是，外輪車軸的邊緣齒輪比內(nèi)輪邊緣齒輪轉(zhuǎn)得快。這就保證了車轉(zhuǎn)彎時外輪比內(nèi)輪轉(zhuǎn)得快。車軸有兩種基本類型：固定車軸和活動車軸。固定車軸不能旋轉(zhuǎn)；輪子在上面旋轉(zhuǎn)。以馬車為例?；顒榆囕S和輪子在一起，從而使兩個輪子和車軸一起旋轉(zhuǎn)?；顒榆囕S根據(jù)他們支持的方式分類；半活動，四分之三活動和全活動。</p><p><b>　　推進(jìn)器柄和聯(lián)軸節(jié)</b></p><p>　　推進(jìn)器

29、。這就是說，后車軸裝置，差速裝置和輪子，上下移動，傳輸柄之間改變。推進(jìn)器柄縮短的原因是后車軸和差速移動的弧比推進(jìn)器柄的小。車軸裝置弧的中心點是連接到框架后發(fā)條或控制臂。為了使推進(jìn)器柄適應(yīng)這兩個變化，必須有兩個獨立的裝置。這必須有一個或更多的聯(lián)軸節(jié)以保證裝置的多樣化。必須有一個滑動節(jié)保證推進(jìn)器柄改變長度時的效率。</p><p>　　推進(jìn)器柄可以是實的也可以是空的，由一個管子維持著。一些施用包括推進(jìn)器中心或附近那些

30、支持柄的軸承。這個兩部分推進(jìn)器由中心軸承和聯(lián)軸節(jié)一起支持。在雙鉸鏈中聯(lián)軸節(jié)是必不可少的，它包含兩個Y型軛，一個在驅(qū)動柄上，另一個在被驅(qū)動柄上，還有個十字形裝置叫星形輪。星形輪的四臂叫耳軸，集中在兩個柄軛的終端。驅(qū)動柄使星形輪旋轉(zhuǎn)，星形輪上的另兩個耳軸使驅(qū)動柄轉(zhuǎn)動。當(dāng)兩個柄互相疊壓時，軛的軸承保證軛在每個耳軸上旋轉(zhuǎn)。多種聯(lián)軸節(jié)已經(jīng)用于汽車中，但是通用的種類只有星形輪和雙軛輪，速效輪，和球耳軸聯(lián)節(jié)。</p><p>
