Using this solution, it is possible to shift the gearing contact point between the concave and convex differential gears via the smaller concave sun gear, as is also possible on the lightweight differential. The aim is to create a differential gearing that exhibits an extremely high level of power density as well as narrow radial dimensions. A design of this type could provide a solution for a differential featuring bevel gearing, for example. However, in this case the radial dimensions for the compensation gearing are limited, meaning the traditional gearing featured in the lightweight differential can no longer be used. Although this idea appears to be pioneering at first glance, the engineers were not able to confirm that the Wildhaber-Novikov differential has a higher level of power density in previous investigations. For this reason, this approach has not proven successful to date, meaning it has been necessary to look for alternative solutions.
