ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity universal ball joint11having first and second outer ball tracks16, 18,and first and second inner ball tracks17, 19,forming first pairs of tracks16, 17which widen in a first axial direction Ri1(α), and forming second pairs of tracks18, 19which widen in a second axial direction Ri2(β). Balls20are guided in the pairs of tracks and have centers Z positioned on a pitch circle radius PCR around a joint centre M. A ball cage21holds the balls20in a common central plane E on to the angle-bisecting plane when the joint is articulated. There is provided an axial clearance permitting a relative axial displacement S wherein, when in the aligned condition, the ratio between the axial clearance S and the pitch circle radius PCR ranges between 0.01 and 0.09 (0.01<S/PCR<0.09).
