LIGHT WEIGHT LOW ANGLE FIXED CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT

摘要

A constant velocity joint (10) includes an outer race (36) and an inner race (42) arranged within the outer race. The joint includes a cage (48) arranged between the outer race and inner race and a rolling element (46) arranged between the outer race and inner race. The constant velocity joint outer race has a reduced diameter (52) and a reduced head length (54) for reduced weight and packaging as well as for providing easier installation in a vehicle driveline system.
