Articulated fork and universal joint with one

摘要

The invention relates to a joint fork for a universal joint and a universal joint with the same. In such a case, the two fork arms in the articulated fork are divided into a base section with one-piece arm sections and bridge elements. Head screws are used to fix the bridge elements, for which purpose threaded holes 19, 20, 21 are arranged in the end faces of the arm sections. The threaded bores 21, which, projected onto the bore axis 10 of the adjacent bearing bore 9, are at the greatest distance F from the longitudinal axis 5, have a diameter which is significantly larger than that of the other threaded bores 19, 20. Compared to designs in which several cap screws and corresponding threaded bores are provided which have the same diameter, a disproportionate increase in the transmission capacity can be achieved.
