ABSTRACT

A power transmission device is provided with a casing drivingly coupled to the
power source to create a rotation about an axis, and a differential gear set
supported by the casing to rotate with the casing about the axis. The
differential gear set includes a pair of side gears capable of making a
differential motion from each other, a friction section interposed between the
casing and the differential gear set, or internal to the differential gear
set, to frictionally limit the differential motion, a disconnect device
coupled to one of output shafts for connectably disconnecting one of the side
gears from the one of the output shafts, and a cam structure coupled directly
or indirectly to the friction section to convert a torque in a direction for
accelerating the rotation into a thrust force in an axial direction to exert
the thrust force on the friction section.
