摘要:
Provided is an outer joint member for a fixed type constant velocity universal joint, the outer joint member contributing to reduction of the number of man-hours through reduction of the number of post processes after a forging process, and to an increase in yield, and reduction of manufacturing cost. The outer joint member for a fixed type constant velocity universal joint includes a cup section (16) and a shaft section (18) extending in an axial direction from a bottom portion of the cup section (16). The outer joint member is made of machine-structural carbon steel. The following portions of the outer joint member are finished by cold forging: track grooves (12); radially inner spherical-surface portions (14a); a cup-inlet chamfer (12b); track chamfers (12c); track-inlet chamfers (12a); a part except for a boot fixing portion (19) on a radially outer surface of the cup section (16); and a center hole (13) at an end surface (18a) of the shaft section (18).

A fixed type constant velocity universal joint includes an outer joint member, an inner joint member, a plurality of balls interposed between the outer and inner joint members, and a cage to hold the plurality of balls. At least one of the plurality of track grooves of the outer joint member and the plurality of track grooves of the inner joint member is formed by cold-forging finishing. The outer joint member, the inner joint member, the balls, and the cage are assembled to each other based on matching in which the plurality of balls and the cage each having a rank corresponding to a measured value of a pitch circle diameter of the outer joint member and to a measured value of a pitch circle diameter of the inner joint member, which have been arbitrarily selected, are selected with respect to the arbitrarily selected outer and inner joint members.

A fixed type constant velocity universal joint includes an outer joint member, an inner joint member, a plurality of balls for transmitting torque provided between track grooves of the outer joint member and track grooves of the inner joint member, and a cage for retaining the balls. Grease is enclosed in the fixed type constant velocity universal joint which includes a thickener and a lubricant component which is constituted by base oil. The grease contains 90% by mass or more of paraffinic mineral oil with respect to the total mass of the lubricant component of the grease, and 3 to 8% by mass of the thickener with respect to the total mass of the components of the grease.

A constant velocity universal joint has track shapes which facilitate quality control on a forging die set, securing higher durability through securement of a stable contact state of forging-molded tracks and finishing-processed tracks with respect to balls. At least one of each of track grooves of an outer joint member and each of track grooves of an inner joint member is formed by cold-forging finishing. A track groove bottom side of the at least one of each of the track grooves is formed into a Gothic arch shape in horizontal cross-section, and a track groove opening side of the at least one of each of the track grooves is are each formed into an elliptical shape in horizontal cross-section.

Provided is a constant velocity universal joint having track shapes which facilitate quality control on a forging die set and products as in a conventional case while securing higher durability through securement of a stable contact state of forging-molded tracks and finishing-processed tracks with respect to balls. At least one of each of track grooves (22) of an outer joint member (23) and each of track grooves (25) of an inner joint member (26) is formed by cold-forging finishing. A track groove bottom side of the at least one of each of the track grooves (22) and the track grooves (25) is formed into a Gothic arch shape in horizontal cross-section, and track groove opening sides of the at least one of each of the track grooves (22) and the track grooves (25) are each formed into an elliptical shape in horizontal cross-section.

A light and compact slide-type constant velocity universal joint has a maximum operating angle of 30° or more through optimization of a ball contact angle relative to ball grooves, a ball contact ratio, and a cage offset amount. In the slide-type constant velocity universal joint, a ratio of ball diameter to outer ring outer diameter is 0.21 to 0.25, a ratio of ball pitch diameter to outer ring outer diameter is 0.64 to 0.68, a contact angle of the ball groove is 30° to 35°, a contact ratio of the ball groove is 1.02 to 1.08, and a ratio of cage offset amount to ball pitch diameter is 0.07 to 0.09.

A fixed type constant velocity universal joint has cutout round portions (32) provided at two portions of a ball-contact-point corresponding part on a track inlet end (22a) of each of the track grooves (22) of the outer joint member for reduce biting of balls. The fixed type constant velocity universal joint is capable of achieving reduction of stress generated when balls and edge portions interfere with each other, suppression of chipping of the edge portions, and prolongation of a service life of the joint as a whole. These advantages are achieved even at a time of an unexpected high-angle operation, and in particular even when an angle expected during use of the constant velocity universal joint is exceeded.
