CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF SECURING A SHAFT TO THE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A constant velocity joint assembly and a method of securing a shaft to the assembly are described. The assembly may have an outer race with a first portion having a plurality of grooves and a second portion that extends from the first portion and is substantially parallel to the shaft. The method of securing the shaft to the assembly includes the step of magnetically pulse welding the shaft to the outer race.
