CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT

A constant velocity joint comprises an outer joint part with outer ball tracks; an inner joint part with inner ball tracks; wherein an outer ball track and an inner ball track respectively form a pair of tracks with one another, in each of which a torque-transmitting ball\ is guided; a ball cage with circumferentially distributed cage windows in which the torque-transmitting balls are accommodated; wherein in any angular position of the constant velocity joint an opening angle is formed between an outer tangent to the outer ball track and an inner tangent to the inner ball track; wherein at an articulation angle of zero degrees the opening angle is greater than zero degrees, wherein a central articulation angle range is defined with articulation angles less than fifteen degrees, wherein the opening angle increases by at least two degrees within the central articulation angle range and is less than twelve degrees for all articulation angles within the central articulation angle range.
