ABSTRACT:
One half of a Pot-type universal joint consists of four spherical rollers rotatably mounted, but axially fixed on four mutually perpendicular radial trunnions. Each roller rolls in a grooved member connected to the other joint half. The four grooved members are free to move relative to each other and to their supporting joint half, but only in a way that satifies the kinematic requirements set forth in the specification, while providing a torsionally rigid connection between the two joint halves. The transmission of torque is homokinetic. The joint is adaptable for either axially fixed or axially displaceable requirements.
