CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT

A constant velocity joint of a vehicle includes an outer race, an inner race, a plurality of balls, and a cage. The cage holds the balls against a plurality of first ball grooves and a plurality of second ball grooves. An offset amount in a case where a joint angle is equal to or smaller than a pred...

Zusammenfassung:A constant velocity joint of a vehicle includes an outer race, an inner race, a plurality of balls, and a cage. The cage holds the balls against a plurality of first ball grooves and a plurality of second ball grooves. An offset amount in a case where a joint angle is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value is larger than an offset amount in a case where the joint angle exceeds the predetermined value. The joint angle is an angle formed by an axis of the outer race and an axis of the inner race when intersecting with each other. The offset amount is a distance between a center point of a pitch circle radius as a distance between a center of each of the balls and a center of curvature of a corresponding one of the first and second ball grooves, and a joint center point.
