Abstract: A tripod roller for a tripod joint assembly including an outer ring with an annular running surface on its outer circumference for rolling in a tripod housing as well as an inner peripheral surface. An inner ring includes an annular running surface on its inner circumference for mounting on a pin of a tripod star and an outer circumferential surface and opposite end faces. Rolling elements may be arranged in an annular space between the inner circumferential surface of the outer ring and the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring, and via which the outer ring is rotatably mounted. Axial locking rings may be fixed to the outer ring and secure the outer ring axially relative to the inner ring. The inner ring includes recesses opening into the annular space for receiving lubricant on end faces and/or the axial locking rings via the rolling elements.

Abstract: A rolling element of a tripod joint and a tripod joint which has a rolling element is provided. In the rolling element, an annular spring element is provided which spreads the housing inner body and a first housing part and a second housing part of the rolling element apart and presses rolling bodies of the rolling element against raceways of the outer part of the tripod joint.
