Abstract: A ball and socket joint, for example, for an axle system of a motor vehicle, as well as to a process for manufacturing a joint housing for a ball and socket joint. The ball and socket joint has an essentially annular joint housing (3), in the cylindrical interior space of which a ball shell (1) can be arranged. The ball (2) of a ball pivot can be accommodated in the ball shell (1) in a slidingly movable manner. The joint housing is of a smooth cylindrical design in the area of a housing cover-side functional section (14), while elevations (10) and/or depressions (15) are arranged in the area of a ball pivot-side functional section (13) of the inner jacket surface of the joint housing.

Abstract: A ball and socket joint, for example, for an axle system of a motor vehicle, as well as to a process for manufacturing a joint housing for a ball and socket joint. The ball and socket joint has an essentially annular joint housing (3), in the cylindrical interior space of which a ball shell (1) can be arranged. The ball (2) of a ball pivot can be accommodated in the ball shell (1) in a slidingly movable manner, and the joint housing (3) has elevations (10) and/or depressions (15) arranged in the area of its inner jacket surface (13, 14) for engagement with the surface of the ball shell (1).The ball and socket joint is characterized according to the present invention in that the inner jacket surface (13, 14) of the joint housing (3) is split into at least two separate functional sections (13, 14) in the axial direction of the joint housing, the inner jacket surface of the joint housing being of a smooth cylindrical design in the area of a housing cover-side functional section (14), while the elevations (10) and/or depressions (15) are arranged in the area of a ball pivot-side functional section (13) of the inner jacket surface of the joint housing.The ball and socket joint according to the present invention offers firm anchoring of the plastic ball shell in the joint housing while the tightness of the gap between the joint housing and the ball shell is improved at the same time. Furthermore, the prestress of the joint and the moments of friction between the joint ball and the ball shell are better reproducible.
