CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A constant velocity joint, wherein all rolling elements (28) annularly held by a tool (60) are inserted into an inner diameter part (40) from one end opposite to the flange part (42) of a roller member (30) along the axis of the inner diameter part (40) of the roller member (30) or the rolling elements (28) remaining after one rolling element is removed from all rolling elements (28) are charged into the inner diameter part (40) and the removed one rolling element (28a) is inserted into a clearance (69) between the rolling elements (28) from the other end along the axis of the inner diameter part (40). After all rolling elements (28) are fitted into the inner diameter part (40) of the rolling member (30), a snap ring (46) is fitted into an annular groove (44) formed at the end part of the inner diameter part (40) on the opposite side of the flange part (42) to hold the rolling elements (28) between the flange part (42) and the snap ring (46).
