Constant velocity joint

A constant velocity joint having a first axial end (1) and a second axial end (2), comprising:

• an annular outer part (13) which comprises a longitudinal outer part axis (14) and first outer running grooves (15) and second outer running grooves (17) which are alternately arranged around the longitudinal outer part axis (14), wherein the first outer running grooves (15) start from the first axial end (1) and extend towards the second axial end (2), with the track bases (16) of same approaching the longitudinal outer part axis (14) towards the second axial end (2), and wherein, furthermore, the second outer running grooves (17) start from the second axial end (2) and extend towards the first axial end (1), with the track bases (18) of same approaching the longitudinal outer part axis (14) towards the first axial end (1), wherein, furthermore, the outer part (13) is produced from at least one planar plate metal part which, after the first outer running grooves (15) and second outer running grooves (17) have been formed in a non-chip producing way, is bent into an open ring, and wherein the outer part (13), towards the first axial end (1) and towards the second axial end (2), is provided with centering faces (37) on its outer face (36) between the first outer running grooves (15) and the second outer running grooves (17) and wherein the outer part (13) includes a plurality of outwardly projecting formations (39, 40) in the region of the first outer running grooves (15) and second outer running grooves (17);
• a receiving part (19) which is provided in the form of a closed ring and comprises a cylindrical bore (38) interrupted by grooves (22), with the number of grooves (22) corresponding to the number of first and second outer running grooves (15, 17) and with the grooves (22) circumferentially receiving in a form-fitting way at least axial partial portions of the outwardly projecting formations (39, 40) of the outer part (13) in the region of the first outer running grooves (15) and second outer running grooves (17) and wherein, furthermore, the outer part (13) is held in the axial direction between stops (20, 21) relative to the receiving part (19);
• an inner part (3) which comprises a longitudinal inner part axis (4) and an outer face (10) in which first inner running grooves (6) and second inner running grooves (7) are alternately distributed around the longitudinal inner part axis (4) and wherein the first inner running grooves (6) are positioned opposite first outer running grooves (15) and the second inner running grooves (7) are positioned opposite second outer running grooves (17) while forming pairs therewith, wherein the first inner running grooves (6) start from the first axial end (1) and extend towards the second axial end (2), with their track bases (8) moving away from the longitudinal inner part axis (4) and wherein the second inner running grooves (7) start from the second axial end (2) and extend towards the first axial end (1), with the track bases (9) of same moving away from the longitudinal inner part axis (4);
• a cage (11) arranged between the outer part (13) and the inner part (3) including a plurality of radial windows (12);
• and
• balls (28) which are guided in the windows (12) of the cage (11) and which are each engaged by pair-forming first outer running grooves (15) and first inner running grooves (6) and pair-forming second outer running grooves (17) and second inner running grooves (7).
