Multipod joint

A multipod joint with an outer joint part with a first longitudinal axis and a cavity running parallel to the first longitudinal axis with an open end, wherein at least two recesses extending parallel to the first longitudinal axis are distributed in the outer joint part along a first circumferential direction, which extends around the first longitudinal axis, and an inner joint part with a second longitudinal axis, comprising at least one central body to 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;

• wherein each roller body is movably received in one of the recesses along the first longitudinal axis;
• wherein each roller body has an axis of rotation, an outer ring, an inner ring arranged concentrically to the outer ring and concentric to the axis of rotation, and a plurality of rolling elements between the outer ring and the inner ring, which are arranged next to each other along a second circumferential direction in a receiving space extending along the second circumferential direction of the outer ring so that the inner ring can rotate relative to the outer ring about the axis of rotation;
• wherein the inner ring is displacable relative to the outer ring and the rolling elements along the axis of rotation;
• wherein the outer ring forms a first stop with the inner ring at a first end face of the roller body facing away from the second longitudinal axis, which first stop limits a first displacement path of the inner ring relative to the outer ring, wherein the first displacement path extends along a first direction parallel to the axis of rotation and away from the second longitudinal axis;
• wherein the inner ring forms a second stop with the trunnion, which limits a second displacement path of the inner ring relative to the trunnion, wherein the second displacement path extends along a second direction parallel to the axis of rotation and towards the second longitudinal axis;
• wherein the multipod joint is designed such that, in an intended operating range of the multipod joint contact between the inner ring and the outer ring is not possible at a second end face of the roller body facing the second longitudinal axis, or that only the inner ring contacts the central body.
