Multipod joint

A multipod joint having an outer joint part with a first longitudinal axis and a cavity which runs parallel to the first longitudinal axis and which has an open end, wherein at least two recesses running parallel to the first longitudinal axis are distributed along a circumferential direction, which extends around the first longitudinal axis, and a joint inner part with a second longitudinal axis, comprising at least one central body on which at least two trunnions are formed with trunnion axes extending radially from the second longitudinal axis, wherein a roller body rotatable at least about the trunnion axis is arranged on each trunnion, each roller body extending in the shape of a ring around an axis of rotation of the roller body;

• each roller body being accommodated in each of the recesses in such a way as to be movable along the first longitudinal axis;
• each recess having two raceways lying opposite one another in the circumferential direction, and each raceway having a first segment and a second segment along a radial direction, which runs transversely to the first longitudinal axis, wherein, when a torque directed in the circumferential direction is transmitted, the roller body is supported relative to the circumferential direction via a plurality of contact areas on one of the two raceways, wherein only via contact areas in the first segment is an instant center of rotation formed for the roller body and at least one contact area in the second segment only supports the roller body against a rotation about the instant center of rotation.
