FIXED CONSTANT VELOCITY UNIVERSAL JOINT
摘要:
In a fixed type constant velocity universal joint (1), track grooves (7) of an outer joint member (2) include: first track groove portions (7a) positioned on an interior side; and second track groove portions (7b) positioned on an opening side. The first track groove portions (7a) each have an arc-shaped ball raceway center line (Xa) having a curvature center that is prevented from being offset in an axial direction of the outer joint member with respect to a joint center (O). Planes (M) each including at least the ball raceway center line (Xa) and the joint center (O) are inclined with respect to a joint axial line (N-N) with their inclination directions alternately opposite to each other in the first track groove portions (7a) that are adjacent to each other in a peripheral direction of the outer joint member. The second track groove portions (7b) each have an arc-shaped ball raceway center line (Xb) having a curvature center that is offset to a radially outer side with respect to the ball raceway center line (Xa) of corresponding one of the first track groove portions (7a). An end portion (A) of the ball raceway center line (Xa) of each of the first track groove portions (7a) is positioned on the opening side with respect to the joint center (O). A position of the end portion (A) occupies at least 60% of an effective track length on the opening side with respect to the joint center (O). The ball raceway center line (Xb) of each of the second track groove portions (7b) is connected to the end portion (A). A ball raceway center line (Y) of each of track grooves of an inner joint member (3) is formed so as to be mirror-image symmetrical with a ball raceway center line (X) of corresponding one of the paired track grooves (7) of the outer joint member (2) with respect to a plane (P) including the joint center (O) at an operating angle of 0°.
