Torque transmission device, of the sliding type, especially for motor vehicle steering

摘要

Device for transmitting a torque between a first tubular element 1, especially securely fastened to a universal joint jaw and a second element 12 comprising an elastomer sleeve 7 radially compressed between the inner wall of the first element and the outer wall of the second element, characterised in that it further comprises an intermediate component 8 made from a material offering a resistance to sliding interposed between the inner wall of the elastomer sleeve and the outer wall of the second element and fixed to the elastomer sleeve by adhesion, the resistance to sliding of the second elements 12 in the intermediate component 8 and consequently with respect to the first element being determined by the pressure exerted by the elastomer sleeve 7 on the outer face of the intermediate component. <IMAGE>
