Kugelgelenk und Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung

摘要

A housing(1) with opening(2) has an outer wall(8.1) which surrounds a chamber(8) holding a ball(6.1). The ball sits in a low friction shell(5) held in position by an injected solidifiable material. The wall and/or outside of the low friction shell are coated in an elastomer(14) which extends to the same point as the injected material. A housing(1) with opening(2) has an outer wall(8.1) which surrounds a chamber(8) holding a ball(6.1). The ball sits in a low friction shell(5) held in position by an injected solidifiable material. The wall and/or outside of the low friction shell are coated in an elastomer(14) which extends to the same point as the injected material. A wear-resisting ring(11) is pressed against the end of the injected material facing the opening. An Independent claim is also included for a process for manufacturing a ball joint in which: a) the wall and/or the outside of the low friction shell are coated in an elastomer layer; b) the ball and shell are inserted in the housing chamber; c) the chamber is filled with injectable material(9) whose high temperature vulcanizes the elastomer layer; d) the injected material is compressed. Preferred Features: The vulcanized elastomer layer bonds onto the injected material. An edge(3) of the housing is rolled over to compress the wear-resisting ring against the end of the injected material.
