Tripod joint, has recesses receding against spherical surface section running diagonal to longitudinal axis of plug, where recesses are formed in radially distant plug provided in tripod spider

摘要

The joint (10) has a tripod spider (11) with radially distant plugs (12) for bearing a roll element (13). Each plug is spherically designed at outer circumference, and has recesses that are formed between spherical surface sections, where the recesses recede against the spherical surface section running diagonal to a longitudinal axis (Z) of the plug. Each recess has an inclination angle with the longitudinal axis of the plug and within a range of 5-25 degrees.
