Cardan-type joint of monobloc construction has shaft journal pushed through inner joint part to act as axial securing element

摘要

The joint has an outer (11) and an inner part, both with tracks forming track pairs for torque-transmitting balls (36). A ball cage (31) has windows (34) to retain the balls. First outer and inner tracks (16 1,26 1), and second outer and inner tracks (16 2,26 2), form first and second track pairs, containing first and second balls (36 1,36 2), and extending away from each other on direction of the inner and outer joint parts in two different axial directions (R1, R2). The outer joint part has an aperture (13) on the connection side to the inner part, and an opposite base (14). The inner part is connected releasable to a plug-in shaft journal (22) with spherical stop surface (23), which acts with a support surface (38) in the outer part base.
