ARTICULATION CENTRALE POUR UN ENTRAÎNEMENT À TROIS LIAISONS

摘要

The invention relates to a central joint (20, 120, 220, 320) for a three-point suspension link (470). The central joint (20, 120, 220, 320) has a housing (22, 322), which is mounted so as to be able to rotate and pivot relative to an axle connection (24, 124, 224, 324) of the central joint (20, 120, 220, 320) by means of a ball joint (23, 323). Furthermore, the central joint (20, 120, 220, 320) has a securing device (25, 125, 225, 325) which functions as a stop and extends in a perpendicular manner to the central axis (26, 126) of the axle connection (24, 124, 224, 324) and, upon failure of the ball joint (23, 323), prevents a separation of the housing (22, 322) and axle connection (24, 124, 224, 324). According to the invention, the securing device (25, 125, 225, 325) extends perpendicular to the central axis (26, 126) of the axle connection (24, 124, 224, 324) effectively in two spatial directions. The invention furthermore relates to a three-point suspension link (470) having such a central joint (20, 120, 220, 320), wherein the three-point suspension link (470) is designed as an axle guidance suspension link for guiding a rigid axle.
