TRIPOD CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT

摘要

PURPOSE: A tripod constant velocity joint is provided to minimize the generation of Generated Axial Force occurred by the unnecessary rolling and pitching of an outer roller. CONSTITUTION: A tripod constant velocity joint comprises a spider(1), a roller assembly(2), and a housing(3). The spider comprises three trunnions protruded in a radial direction. The roller assembly comprises an inner roller, a needle roller, and an outer roller. The inner roller surrounds the outer surface of the trunnions. The needle roller surrounds the outer surface of the inner roller. The housing surrounds the outer surface of the needle roller. A roller track groove(31) for accepting the roller assembly is formed in the housing in an axial direction.
