ABSTRACT:
A universal joint for a highly stressed cardan shaft possesses, in order to increase the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the bearings in the trunnion cross bearing, a tie-rod which extends through a central longitudinal hole through two opposing trunnions. The bearing covers of the two opposing bearing eyes are fixed to the tie-rod under pre-stress and bear from outside against the outer ring of the radial bearing. The bearing covers carry tracks on the inner sides for the axial bearing arranged in the region of the trunnion end face. The transverse forces are thus passed to the respectively opposite joint yoke half, so that no deformation arises to spray the joint yoke. As a result the formation of axial play is prevented, and all bearings are uniformly stressed, as a result of which greater load-bearing capacity and longer service life are obtained.
