ABSTRACT:
A tripod joint has an outer joint part with at least two circumferentially distributed longitudinally extending tracks to receive rollers. The outer part is non-rotatingly connected to a first driveshaft. An inner joint part is coupled with the outer joint part. The inner joint part has radial arms which engage the tracks and on which the rollers are rotatably and radially movably supported. The inner part is non-rotatingly connectable to a second driveshaft. The outer joint part further includes an outer annular member directly and firmly connected to the first driveshaft. Track elements directly guide the rollers, and resilient intermediate elements are arranged between the two parts. A mutual centering mechanism is provided between the annular member of the outer joint part.
