Tripod joint with three spaced recesses in outer part - has mutual securing of inner ring and rolling bodies by flat security element

摘要

the tripod joint roller assemblies have each an inner ring (7) and outer roller (10) which,w.r.t. to the joint axis, are supported independently of each other radially outwards,and w.r.t. the joint axis are supported radially inwards independently of each other directly on a flat surface element (11). W.r.t.the joint axis the elements are each supported radially inwards on guide edges (12) of the recesses (3) of the outside joint part (1).The base of each recess is pref flat and the inner ring and outer roller can be supported directly on the base and on the tracks. ADVANTAGE - Simple design without need for axial securing between the inner ring and outer roller.
