摘要:
The wheel hub 30 includes a radial swaged portion 37 formed by a radially outward plastic deformation of one end thereof, whereby an inner ring 40 fitted onto the wheel hub 30 is united therewith. An outer joint member 72 of a constant velocity joint 70 is press-fitted into the wheel hub 30, causing serrations 81 on the inner periphery of the wheel hub 30 and a serrated shaft 82 of the outer joint member 72 to engage with each other. The tooth profile of the serrations 81 on the wheel hub 30 is controlled within a predetermined specified range over the entire axial length thereof, whereby radial contraction of the serrations 81 caused by swaging is reduced.
摘要:
A constant velocity universal joint for transmitting driving torque between rotative members, such universal joint including a hub fixed to one of the rotative members and an outer joint member attached to the hub, an inner joint member attached to another one of the rotative members and a ball containing cage positioned between the outer joint member and the inner joint member. The balls are engaged in ball races positioned in the outer joint member and in the inner joint member. The ball races are sloped so as to provide maximum material at the location of highest stress, the major ball races being of the undercut free design.

In a constant velocity ratio Rzeppa joint of the cross groove type wherein the outer joint member (1) and the inner joint member (2) are provided with a plurality of guide grooves (15,24) circumferentially inclining with respect to their rotational axes, each of the guide grooves (15,24) is divided into a groove center portion (19,28) having a symmetric shape with respect to the center line of the groove, and a pair of groove end portions (17,26) having an asymmetric shape with respect to the center line of the groove. The pair of groove end portions (17,26) of each guide groove (15,24) have a depth larger than that of the groove center portion (19,28) thereof so that a grinding wheel is prevented from contacting with the groove end portions during grinding operations on the guide grooves.

Provided is a plunging type constant velocity universal joint (1) including: an outer joint member (2) having a plurality of linear track grooves (7); an inner joint member (3) having a plurality of linear track grooves (9); a plurality of torque transmission balls (4); and a cage (5) configured to accommodate the torque transmission balls (4) in pockets (5a). A curvature center (O1) of a spherical outer peripheral surface (11) and a curvature center (O2) of a spherical inner peripheral surface (12) of the cage (5) are offset toward opposite sides in an axial direction with respect to a joint center (O). A spherical clearance (δ3) that allows guide in contact is formed between a spherical outer peripheral surface (Rc2) of the inner joint member (3) and a spherical inner peripheral surface (12) of the cage (5). A positive axial clearance is formed between the pocket (5a) of the cage (5) and the torque transmission ball (4).

Provided is a constant velocity universal joint capable of being smoothly rotated even when a high operating angle is formed and large torque is born and of reducing excessive load applied to the cage so as to strengthen the cage. The constant velocity universal joint includes an outer joint member having an inner spherical surface (1) in which multiple track grooves (2) are formed; an inner joint member having an outer spherical surface (4) in which multiple track grooves (5) paired with the track grooves (2) of the outer joint member are formed; multiple balls (7) interposed between the track grooves (2) of the outer joint member and the track grooves (5) of the inner joint member so as to transmit torque; and a cage (9) interposed between the inner spherical surface (1) of the outer joint member and the outer spherical surface (4) of the inner joint member so as to retain the balls (7). A tapered relief portion (17) retracted with respect to the outer spherical surface (4) is formed with low curvature at a back end portion (4a) of the outer spherical surface (4) of the inner joint member so as to be smoothly continuous with the outer spherical surface (4).
摘要:
Six track grooves (7) formed in a spherical inner peripheral surface (6) of an outer joint member (2) are each formed into an arc shape having a curvature center at a joint center (O) . The track grooves (7) are inclined in a circumferential direction of the outer joint member (2) with respect to a joint axial line (N-N), and are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction with their inclination directions opposite to each other. Six track grooves (9) formed in a spherical outer peripheral surface (8) of an inner joint member (3) are formed so as to be mirror-image symmetrical with the track grooves (7) paired therewith of the outer joint member (2) with respect to a joint center plane (P) at an operating angle of 0°. An inclination angle (γ) of each of the track grooves (7) of the outer joint member (2) with respect to the joint axial line (N-N) is set to 8° or more and 16° or less.

Provided is a fixed type constant velocity universal joint (1) of a track groove crossing type, in which track grooves (7) of an outer joint member (2) are each formed into an arc shape having a curvature center at a joint center (O), the track grooves (7) being inclined in a peripheral direction of the outer joint member (2) with respect to a joint axial line (N-N) and being adjacent to each other in the peripheral direction with their inclination directions opposite to each other, and in which track grooves (9) of an inner joint member (3) are formed so as to be mirror-image symmetrical with the paired track grooves (7) of the outer joint member (2) with respect to a joint center plane (P) at an operating angle of 0°. The track grooves (7, 9) of both the joint members (2, 3) each have a length corresponding to a maximum operating angle (θmax) required for a rear-wheel drive shaft. Further, each axial clearance (ΔSia1, Δsia2) between the inner joint member (3) and the cage (5) is set larger than an axial clearance (ΔTao+ΔTai) formed by a ball track clearance (ΔT) between each of balls (4) and each track groove (7, 9).
摘要:
A joint arrangement (2) comprises an outer joint component (4), an inner joint component (6), a cage (8) and at least two balls (10) located between the outer and inner joint component and in openings (14) of the cage. The balls run in ball recesses, while at least two are in a mechanical contact with pressing devices (12), which are adapted for holding the respective balls in a radially flexible position relative to one of the inner joint component, the outer joint component and the cage and for pressing the respective balls into the corresponding recesses. Such a joint arrangement is based on a homokinetic joint and allows a homogenous transfer of torque without alternating acceleration and deceleration due to the action of the joint itself. Furthermore, a reliable and effective torque limitation may be accomplished.
