Abstract:
A differential (10) includes a differential case (50); a side gear (32) comprising a helical face gear; a helical pinion (24) configured for meshing engagement with the side gear (32); and a pinion housing (12) configured to support the helical pinion (24). The pinion housing (12) includes a first face (16); a second face (18) opposing the first face (16); a first projection (20) located on the first face (16); and a second projection (22) located on the second face (18). In some embodiments, the differential (10) further comprises an actuator (36) configured for engagement with the pinion housing (12) and a plurality of friction plates (48) disposed between the actuator (36) and the differential case (50). The pinion housing (12) also includes an aperture or hole (26) extending radially inwardly from an outer radial surface (38) of the generally annular ring; and a channel (30) extending from the first face (16) to the second face (18), wherein the channel (30) is substantially radially aligned with the aperture or hole (26).

Abstract:
A supercharger constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a housing, a first rotor, a second rotor, a first timing gear, a second timing gear, a first rotor shaft, a second rotor shaft and a coupling. The first and second rotors are received in cylindrical overlapping chambers of the housing. The first timing gear has a gear body that includes first helical teeth. The gear body further defines a central bore and a series of openings. The second timing gear has second helical teeth and is arranged in meshed engagement with the first timing gear. The first rotor shaft supports the first rotor and the first timing gear. The second rotor shaft supports the second rotor and the second timing gear. The coupling has a coupling body and includes a series of protrusions configured to be inserted into the series of openings of the gear body.
