A joint assembly for a vehicle includes an outer race, a fitting, a cap and a stop member. The fitting is disposed in the outer race. The fitting is configured to be axially movable and rotationally fixed relative to the outer race. The cap is connected to the outer race. The stop member is removably received by the cap. The stop member substantially prevents axial movement of the fitting in a direction toward the cap.

A power transmission shaft including a male spline formed in an outer periphery thereof, and a diameter increasing portion formed on a part of a tooth bottom of the male spline, which is located on an opposite side to an axial end of the power transmission shaft. The tooth bottom of the male spline has a substantially constant circumferential width extending up to an axial region of the diameter increasing portion. The diameter increasing portion includes a chamfered portion formed in the axial region of the diameter increasing portion, the chamfered portion connecting the tooth bottom and a tooth flank of the male spline to each other to reduce a tooth groove width.

A fixed type constant velocity universal joint is configured such that an axial offset amount of a curvature center of each track groove of an outer joint member and an axial offset amount of a curvature center of each track groove of an inner joint member are zero. Track grooves of the outer joint member are formed alternately in a circumferential direction to be inclined in mutually opposite directions with respect to an axis, and track grooves of the inner joint member are formed alternately in the circumferential direction to be inclined in mutually opposite directions with respect to the axis. An outer surface of the inner joint member is formed into a spherical surface which is held in slide-contact with an inner spherical surface of a cage. An inner surface of the outer joint member is formed into a cylindrical surface.

A cross groove-type constant-velocity universal joint includes an inner ring (10) having an outer circumferential surface on which ball grooves (12a, 12b) tilted in mutually opposite directions with respect to an axial line are alternately formed in a circumferential direction; an outer ring (20) having an inner circumferential surface on which ball grooves (22a, 22b) tilted in mutually opposite directions with respect to the axial line are alternately formed in the circumferential direction; a ball (30) received in an intersection of a pair of the ball groove (12a, 12b) of the inner ring (10) and the ball groove (22a, 22b) of the outer ring (20); and a cage (40) interposed between the inner ring (10) and the outer ring (20) to retain the ball (30) on the same plane. The maximum diameter of the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring (10) is greater than the minimum diameter the inner circumferential surface of the cage (40). On both end portions in the direction of width of the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring (10), spherical portions (16a, 16b) which have the centers of curvature at the positions offset by a predetermined distance across the center of width of the inner ring (10) are provided. Furthermore, the inner circumferential surface of the cage (40) is provided with a cylindrical portion (44) at a central portion in the direction of width, and spherical portions (46a, 46b) provided at both end portions, the spherical portions having the centers of curvature at the positions offset outwardly by a predetermined distance from the center of width of the cage (40).

A connecting assembly for use in the propeller shaft of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The connecting assembly comprises a shaft journal with an annular groove; a constant velocity universal joint with an inner joint part which is connected in a rotationally fixed way to the shaft journal for the purpose of transmitting torque; an axial securing ring for the inner joint part, which axial securing ring is positioned in the annular groove of the shaft journal; and a holding ring which is releasably connected to the inner joint part; wherein, in a mounted condition of the inner joint part, the axial securing ring is axially fixed on the shaft journal between a contact face of the inner joint part and the holding ring connected to the inner joint part.

Automatic installation of a circlip is facilitated even when an axial length (inner race width) of a protrusion of an inner race is reduced. An inner race is installed in a constant velocity universal joint for transmitting torque while allowing angular displacement between itself and an outer race, with a shaft being inserted in a shaft hole formed in an inner bore to be spline-fitted thereto so as to be prevented from coming off by virtue of the circlip. A two-step chamfer having different chamfer angles is provided at a shaft insertion side end portion of the shaft hole. The two-step chamfer includes a first chamfer section situated on a shaft hole opening side and a second chamfer section provided on the side opposite to the shaft hole opening so as to be continuous with the first chamfer section. The chamfer angle α of the first chamfer section is set larger than the chamfer angle β of the second chamfer section.

A retaining ring for a constant velocity joint includes an annular, C-shaped retainer body that tapers inwardly toward the longitudinal axis from a first end opening and a first end to a second end opening and a second end, the retainer body comprising a first retainer leg and an opposed second retainer leg, the first retainer leg and the second retainer leg joined together on a proximal end and separated on respective distal ends by a gap. It also includes an axially extending annular rib disposed on the first end of the retainer body. It further includes a relief feature formed on the second end of the first retainer leg and a relief feature formed on the second end of the second leg, the relief feature on the first retainer leg and the relief feature on the second retainer leg disposed closer to the proximal end than the distal ends.
摘要:
An inner joint part for a constant velocity universal joint, more particularly a constant velocity plunging joint. The inner joint part (2) includes an outer spherical guiding face (3) for guiding a ball cage (24) of the constant velocity universal joint; a plurality of circumferentially distributed ball tracks (4) formed into the spherical guiding face (3) and provided for receiving torque transmitting balls (25); wherein the ball tracks (4) each comprise a hard-machined first track portion (11) for guiding the balls (25) as well as an unmachined second track portion (12) which does not have a guiding function for the balls. A process of producing an inner joint part as well as a constant velocity universal joint with an inner joint part are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention presents a structure for preventing a shaft of constant velocity joint from coming off which allows changing design of connection between the shaft and an inner joint member to a type for disassembly or anti-disassembly. The anti-disassembly type is realized in such a manner that a wall at an opposite side to a shaft pulling out direction of a retaining ring groove of the shaft is used as a contacting part to a retaining ring, wherein at least two points are formed on the contacting part, one of which is on a perpendicular surface and the other is a corner of the contacting part, these two points are contacted with an inner surface of the retaining ring thereby provides the anti-disassembly type for preventing the ring from being contracted in a radial direction.
