<p>A combination of a rolling-bearing unit for wheels and a constant velocity joint (1), the rolling-bearing unit comprising a stationary outer ring assembly (11) with a first installation flange (12) for suspension and outer-ring raceways (13), and a rotatable inner ring assembly (16) with a second installation flange (17) for supporting a vehicle wheel and inner-ring raceways (18,20), and a housing portion (52) serving as the outer ring of the constant velocity joint (1), rolling members (21) between the outer-ring raceways (13) and inner-ring raceways (18,20), and the constant velocity joint (1) comprising an inner ring (2) attached to the end of the drive shaft (5), inner and outer engagement grooves (7,8), a cage (9) formed with longer and shorter pockets (10) in the positions in alignment with the inner and outer engagement grooves, and eight balls (4) held inside the pockets (10) to rotate freely along the inner and outer engagement grooves. The inner-ring raceway(s) (18,20) have at their deepest points, a radius greater than the bottons of the outer grooves (8) at their maximum radius. <IMAGE></p> |
