ABSTRACT:
A homokinetic joint includes an outer hub having outer running tracks, an inner hub having inner running tracks, balls which are guided in pairs consisting of an outer running track and an inner running track and a cage having cage windows, in which the balls are accommodated. The homokinetic joint further includes a sleeve that is firmly connected with the inner hub and disposed coaxial to it and sealing means having an accommodation part that is connected with the outer hub so as to rotate with it. The sealing means have a sealing membrane firmly connected with the outer hub by means of an outer collar, and connected with the sleeve by means of an inner collar, forming a seal, and having a securing ring for fixing the inner collar in place on the sleeve. The sleeve has a circumferential annular groove, into which the sealing membrane engages with an inner annular bead that is formed on.
