ABSTRACT:
A free-plunging constant velocity joint of the tripod type in which rollers are disposed in rolling engagement with the tracks of a tulip member and are rotatably and slidably supported by needles on the trunnions of a tripod. Each roller has an outer bearing surface and an inner bearing surface, the hardness of the outer bearing surface being less than the hardness of the inner bearing surface and less than the hardness of the tracks in order to reduce accelerated wear of the tracks as the roller rolls back and forth on the tracks.
