摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The joint (10) has a tripod star (11) with radially projecting tappets (12) for mounting roll elements (13). Each radially projecting tappet has three spherical surface sections separated from each other for support of the roll elements, where the roll elements are spaced in related to each other in circumferential direction of the respective tappets. Each tappet has a triangle or square cross section with rounded corners. The two spherical surface sections of one of the tappets lie opposite to each other. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Tripod joint. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The three spherical surface sections of radially projecting tappets are separated from each other for support of the roll elements, where the roll elements are spaced in related to each other in circumferential direction of the respective tappets, thus reducing the weight of the tripod joint and the manufacturing cost of the tripod joint, and optimizing the heat dissipation. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a cross sectional view of a tripod joint. 10 : Tripod joint 11 : Tripod star 12 : Projecting tappets 13 : Roll elements 17 : Inner ring.
