Annular spring element for application of frictional forces and radial spring forces by deformation, and for use in rolling element of tripod joint, has outer edge which is formed by outer surface and one of side surfaces

摘要

The annular spring element (10) has a radially outwardly facing outer surface (12), a radially inwardly direction inner surface (16) and two oppositely facing side surfaces (14a,14b) which are connect the outer surface and the inner surface on both sides. An outer edge (18a) is formed by the outer surface and one of the side surfaces. Another outer edge (18b) is formed by the outer surface and another of the both side surfaces. An asymmetry section (20) is provided, in which the former outer edge has a greater radial extent than the latter outer edge. An independent claim is included for a rolling element with a housing.
