ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity universal joint has an outer joint member with an axial bore therethrough and an inner joint member within the bore. A plurality of torque transmitting elements, such as balls, are positioned within pairs of opposed grooves formed in the facing surfaces of the inner and outer joint members. The balls are retained in a ball plane in openings in a cage positioned between the inner and outer joint members. The number of balls is at least six and is divisible by a whole number larger than one but less than the number of balls. The balls are so disposed around the axis of the joint that no one ball is diametrically opposed from any other ball.
