摘要

The trunnion-sleeve (1) is incorporated in a universal joint for a prop-shaft, locating the trunnion (5) without axial play together with a roller bearing (6) race in a yoke (2) bore (3). A snap ring (4) may retain the sleeve in the bore, and the sleeve is fabricated from thin sheet metal. The sleeve has a base (9) of which a central zone projects (8) to form a bearing for the trunnion end face (7), and the projection initially presents a convex face to the trunnion (5). The convex face is flattened against the trunnion end face during assembly and may use a single cavity (12) or a recessed (13) surface to retain lubricant.
