ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity joint has a hollow outer component with longitudinal tracks or ball races in its inner surface, an inner component inside the outer component, the inner component having tracks corresponding to those in the outer component, balls in the tracks of the outer and inner components for transmission of torque between the two and an apertured cage retaining the balls in a ball plane in its apertures. The cage has a convex control surface facing the outer component and a concave control surface facing the inner component. The planes of the mid points of the control surfaces are equally spaced on either side of the ball plane. The control surfaces have single radial centers and lie to the outside of the radial planes thereof running through their mid points, away from the ball plane. The remainder of the inner surface of the cage has a larger spacing from the radial center of the concave control surface that the radius of the concave control surface and/or the remainder of the outer surface of the cage has a smaller spacing from the radial center of the convex control surface than the radius of the convex control surface.
