摘要:
A fixed type constant velocity universal joint has outer joint member track grooves each with a raceway center line that includes an arc-shaped portion having a curvature center that has no offset with respect to a joint center in an axial direction. The track grooves are formed such that adjacent track grooves are inclined in opposite directions. The joint also has inner joint member track grooves that are each mirror-symmetric with a corresponding one of the outer joint member track grooves. When at a maximum operating angle, a torque transmission ball that moves toward an opening side of the outer joint member track groove loses contact with an opening-side end portion of that track groove, and when at an operating angle of 0°, an end portion of a cage projects from the opening-side end portion of the outer joint member in the axial direction.

In a fixed type constant velocity universal joint, track grooves of an outer joint member include first track groove portions positioned on an interior side and second track groove portions positioned on an opening side. The first track groove portions each have an arc-shaped ball raceway center line 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. Planes each including at least the ball raceway center line and the joint center are inclined with respect to a joint axial line with their inclination directions alternately opposite to each other in the first track groove portions that are adjacent to each other in a peripheral direction of the outer joint member.

Six track grooves formed in a spherical inner peripheral surface of an outer joint member are each formed into an arc shape having a curvature center at a joint center. The track grooves are inclined in a circumferential direction of the outer joint member with respect to a joint axial line, and are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction with their inclination directions opposite to each other. Six track grooves formed in a spherical outer peripheral surface of an inner joint member are formed so as to be mirror-image symmetrical with the track grooves paired therewith of the outer joint member with respect to a joint center plane at an operating angle of 0°. An inclination angle of each of the track grooves of the outer joint member with respect to the joint axial line is set to 8° or more and 16° or less.

Provided is a fixed ball type joint for a vehicle, which reduces the friction between a cage and an outer race and friction between the cage and an inner race by changing shapes of an inner spherical diameter of the outer race and an outer spherical diameter of the inner race. The fixed ball type joint for a vehicle includes an inner race connected to one end of a shaft, an outer race installed at the outside of the inner race, a plurality of balls for transmitting rotational power of the inner race to the outer race, and a cage for supporting the balls, wherein a first inner spherical radius of the outer race formed at the inside with respect to an axis Y at which the balls are located when no joint angle is created is set to be smaller than a second inner spherical radius of the outer race at the outside with respect to the axis Y when the axis Y is rotated in a clockwise direction by a first contact angle around a joint center, and a track radius center of the outer race is formed at a position wherein the axis Y is rotated in a counterclockwise direction by a first rotating angle from the center of the second inner spherical radius of the outer race around the joint center, and a first outer spherical radius of the inner race formed at the outside with respect to the axis Y at which the balls are located when no joint angle is created is set to be larger than a second outer spherical radius of the inner race at the inside with respect to the axis Y if the axis Y is rotated in a counterclockwise direction by a second contact angle around the joint center, and a track radius center of the inner race is formed at a position wherein the axis Y is rotated in a counterclockwise direction by a second rotating angle from the center of the second outer spherical radius of the inner race around the joint center.

A joint arrangement includes an outer joint component, an inner joint component, a cage and at least two balls located between the outer and inner joint component and in openings of the cage. The balls run in ball recesses, while at least two are in a mechanical contact with pressing devices, 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.

A constant velocity universal joint smoothly operates under load and during speed rotation, and also suppresses heat generation and has enhanced durability. An offset in an axial direction between a center of curvature of each of track grooves and a center of curvature of an inner surface of an outer joint member, and an offset in the axial direction between a center of curvature of each of track grooves and a center of curvature of an outer surface of an inner joint member are each set to zero. The track grooves of the outer and inner joint members are each inclined with respect to an axial line. A circumferential length of each of pockets of a cage is set so that two pockets allow balls to be assembled therein at one time under a state in which the two pockets are exposed.

A drive wheel bearing device is provided with an outer member, an inner member, double-row rolling elements and a constant velocity joint. The inner member includes double-row inner races opposite outer races of the outer member, a first inner member, and a second inner member formed with at least one of the double-row inner races, the first inner member and the second inner member being inseparably coupled together at a flange-like swaged portion. The constant velocity joint includes an outer joint member press-fitted to an inner periphery of the first inner member with torque transmission means formed therebetween that transmits torque by engagement of a plurality of axially extending teeth, wherein the torque transmitting teeth of the first inner member have a tooth profile that is controlled within a specified range over the entire axial length of the teeth.
