Universal joint bushing, universal joint bearing of a cardan joint and a forming process or a mounting method therefor

摘要

The invention relates to a universal joint socket for a universal joint bearing of a cardan joint, comprising: a rotation axis; - A tread for rolling elements; a static sealing surface for a main seal; an output port for inputting rolling elements and a main seal; - An axially between the static sealing surface and the outlet opening radially inwardly disposed and axially limited securing groove for receiving a securing projection of a main seal. In this universal joint bushing, it is now proposed that the securing groove be formed without cutting by means of forming. Furthermore, the invention relates to a universal joint bearing of a universal joint and a forming process or an assembly method thereof. The universal joint bushing proposed here and the corresponding forming process permit high cost savings, because a machining and thus a re-tightening and re-centering of the joint bushing is eliminated.
