Abstract
A cycloidal differential includes a driven body, first and second cycloidal drives, and a coupling plate. The first cycloidal drive is disposed on a first side of the driven body and has a first input member rotationally fixed to the driven body and a first output member configured to connect with a first half shaft. The second cycloidal drive is disposed on a second side of the driven body and has a second input member rotationally fixed to the driven body and a second output member configured to connect with a second half shaft. The coupling plate is supported for rotation within the driven body and is connected to each of the first and second cycloidal drives.
