  • Patent number: 7914382
    Abstract: A dual type constant velocity universal joint solves the problems of greasing work efficiency and lubricating ability of a double Cardan Joint. The dual type constant velocity universal joint includes two constant velocity universal joints. Each constant velocity universal joint includes: a cylindrical outer ring in which a plurality of guiding grooves that extend in an axial direction are formed on a spherical inner circumferential surface; an inner ring in which a plurality of guiding grooves that extend in an axial direction are formed on a spherical outer circumferential surface; balls for torque transmission each of which is disposed in each of a plurality of ball tracks which are through coordination between the guiding grooves of the outer ring and the guiding grooves of the inner ring; and a cage 5 for holding the balls.

  • Publication number: 20090298599
    Abstract: The present invention intends to solve the problems of greasing work efficiency and lubricating ability of a double Cardan joint by forming a dual type of a constant velocity universal joint. The dual type constant velocity universal joint of the present invention includes two constant velocity universal joints. Each constant velocity universal joint includes: a cylindrical outer ring 1 in which a plurality of guiding grooves 1b that extend in an axial direction are formed on a spherical inner circumferential surface; an inner ring 2 in which a plurality of guiding grooves 2b that extend in an axial direction are formed on a spherical outer circumferential surface; balls 4 for torque transmission each of which is disposed in each of a plurality of ball tracks which are through coordination between the guiding grooves 1b of the outer ring 1 and the guiding grooves 2b of the inner ring 2; and a cage 5 for holding the balls 4.
