Abstract
The invention relates to a joint arrangement for cardan waves adapted for the transmission of torque; with at least one joint fork; with journals borne in the fork eyes of the joint forks; the bearing arrangement of each journal comprises at least one radial bearing; to each bearing arrangement there is allocated a cover-form element subdividable into at least two partial zones of different dimensions, which cover-form element forms in the zone of at least one partial zone an axial stop for the seat of the inner ring of the radial bearing. The invention is characterized by the following feature: Means are provided which brace the cover-form element with respect to the journal, at least over a partial range of the other, second zone.
Claims18
Joint arrangement for the transmission of torque-adapted cardan waves;
- with at least one joint fork;
- with journals borne in the fork eyes of the joint forks;
- the bearing arrangement of each journal comprises at least one radial bearing;
- to each bearing arrangement there is allocated a cover-form element subdividable into at least two partial zones, which forms in the area of at least one partial zone of the cover-form element an axial stop for the seating of the inner ring of the radial bearing, whereby the inner radial bearing running surface is supported by said cover-form element in an axial direction;
- characterized by the following feature:
- means are provided which tension the cover-form element at least over a partial area of the other, second zone with respect to the journal, said means comprising an oil-press joint located between at least a part of the second partial zone of the cover-form element and the journal.
Joint arrangement for the transmission of torque-adapted cardan waves;
- with at least one joint fork;
- with journals borne in the fork eyes of the joint forks;
- the bearing arrangement of each journal comprises at least one radial bearing and an axial bearing;
- to each bearing arrangement there is allocated a cover-form element subdividable into at least two partial zones, which forms in the area of at least one partial zone of the cover-form element an axial stop for the seating of the inner ring of the radial bearing;
- means are provided which tension the cover-form element at least over a partial area of the other, second zone with respect to the journal;
- characterized in that the axial bearing, opposite the radially outward-directed collar of the inner ring of the radial bearing and the radially inward-directed collar of the outer ring of the radial bearing, is executed in such manner that the collars have like leverage relative to the position of the rolling elements of the axial bearing.
