Abstract
A connecting assembly comprises a shaft journal with an outer journal groove; a constant velocity universal joint with an inner joint part which, for the purpose of transmitting torque, is connected to the shaft journal in a rotationally fixed way and which comprises a sleeve projection, wherein, in an outer circumferential face of the sleeve projection, there is provided an engagement recess; a securing sleeve for axially fixing the inner joint part relative to the shaft journal; wherein the securing sleeve comprises inner holding portions which engage the journal groove, as well as outer holding portions which engage the at least one engagement recess.
Claims19
A connecting assembly, comprising:
- a shaft journal with an outer journal groove;
- a constant velocity universal joint with an inner joint part which is connected to the shaft journal in a rotationally fixed way for transmitting torque, and which comprises a sleeve projection, wherein, in an outer circumferential face of the sleeve projection, there is provided at least one engagement recess;
- and
- a securing sleeve for axially fixing the inner joint part relative to the shaft journal;
- wherein the securing sleeve comprises inner holding portions which engage the journal groove, as well as outer holding portions which engage the at least one engagement recess;
- and
- further wherein the sleeve projection of the inner joint part is slid into an annular chamber formed between the inner holding portions and the outer holding portions of the securing sleeve.
