<p>Wedge angles are formed between mutually facing central track-groove portions (11b, 12b, 21b, 22b) of an outer joint member (1) and an inner joint member (2). Track grooves (11, 12) provided to the outer joint member (1) and track grooves (21, 22) provided to the inner joint member (2) include a first pair of track grooves (11, 21) respectively including the central track-groove portions (11b, 21b) forming therebetween the wedge angle (±) opening to an opening side of the outer joint member (1) under a state in which an operating angle is 0°, and a second pair of track grooves (12, 22) respectively including the central track-groove portions (12b, 22b) oppositely forming therebetween the wedge angle (²) opening to an inner-end side of the outer joint member (1) under the state in which the operating angle is 0°. Both the first track groove (11) and the second track groove (12) of the outer joint member (1) include opening-side track-groove portions (11c, 12c) connected respectively to the central track-groove portions (11b, 12b) directly, each of the opening-side track-groove portions (11c, 12c) being formed in such a shape as to be free from an undercut toward the opening side. Accordingly, it is possible to manufacture at low cost a high-efficient fixed type constant velocity universal joint which involves less torque loss.</p> |
