ABSTRACT:
A universal joint attached to a cardan shaft and adapted for transmitting high torques. The universal joint includes two yokes, with each yoke having two bearing bores. A spider has a plurality of journals which are respectively disposed in the bearing bores. Each journal defines a corresponding journal axis, and has a journal bore defining an inner edge. The spider defines a joint axis extending generally perpendicular to each journal axis. A plurality of radial bearings are disposed within a respective bearing bore for rotatably supporting the journal within the bearing bore. Each radial bearing includes an inner race having a collar extending toward a respective journal axis. The collar extends radially inward of the inner edge and includes a first running face which faces toward the joint axis and parallel to the respective journal axis. A plurality of bearing caps are respectively disposed at an axial end of each journal. The bearing cap defines a second running face extending parallel to the first running face and facing away from the joint axis and parallel to the respective journal axis. An axial bearing is disposed within the journal bore, and is defined in part by the first running face and the second running face.
