Provided is a ball type constant velocity joint for a vehicle, which can increase a maximum joint angle amount by making rotation centers of radial tracks of outer and inner races positioned at the same point on the vertical center axis while having the same vertical offset amount by dividing the ball track of an outer race (33) into two sections of a radial track (33B1) and a linear track (33B2) of the outer race and dividing the ball track (35B) of an inner race (35) into two sections of a linear track (35B1) and a radial track (35B2) of the inner race, and can reduce a contact pressure between a ball and the outer race. The ball type constant velocity joint includes an inner race installed at an end of a shaft, an outer race installed outside the inner race, a plurality of balls for transmitting rotational power of the inner race to the outer race, and a cage having windows for supporting the balls, wherein a ball track of the outer race is divided into two sections consisting of an outer race radial track and an outer race linear track contiguous to the outer race radial track, and when a joint angle is not created, a rotation center (O1A) of the outer race radial track (33B1) and a rotation center (O2A) of the inner race linear track (35B1) are positioned at the same point on a vertical center axis (Z) and have the same vertical offset amount (f1,f2). |
