  • Patent number: 8172689
    Abstract: A fixed-type constant velocity universal joint can sufficiently interpose a lubricant between a torque transmitting ball and a guide groove, and reduce frictional force. The fixed-type constant velocity universal joint of the present invention includes an outer joint member 1 that is filled with a lubricant and on which a guide groove 1b that extends in an axial direction is formed on a spherical inner circumferential surface 1a, an inner joint member 2 provided on an inner diameter side of the outer joint member 1 and on which a guide groove 2b that extends in the axial direction is formed on a spherical outer circumferential surface 2a, a torque transmitting ball 3 interposed between opposing guide grooves 1b and 2b of the outer joint member 1 and the inner joint member 2 such as to roll freely, and a cage 4 that holds each ball 3. Numerous miniscule recesses are randomly formed on a surface of the ball 3.

  • Patent number: 8162766
    Abstract: A fixed type constant velocity universal joint includes an outer joint member having an inner spherical surface in which a plurality of track grooves extending in an axial direction are formed; an inner joint member having an outer spherical surface in which a plurality of track grooves extending in the axial direction while paired with the track grooves of the outer joint member are formed. A plurality of balls are interposed between the track grooves of each of the outer joint member and the inner joint member, for transmitting a torque, and a cage is interposed between the inner spherical surface of the outer joint member and the outer spherical surface of the inner joint member, for holding the balls.

  • Patent number: 5853328
    Abstract: A double offset type constant velocity universal joint for use in a power transmission system of an automobile comprises an inner member, an outer member, and a plurality of balls for transmitting torque between the Inner and outer members, the balls being retained by means of a cage also interposed between the inner and outer members, the cage being so designed as to allow the inner and outer members to move axially relatively to each other by an effective amount to absorb not only slight vibrations of an engine but also a greater movement of the engine caused by starting acceleration of the automobile.

  • Patent number: 5827121
    Abstract: A slide type homokinetic universal joint which assures low slide resistance. A guide block is supported on each trunnion so as to be axially slidable with respect to the trunnion and so as for the trunnion to be pivotable with respect to the guide block. A ball circulation groove including a pair of straight paths is formed in each side of the guide block. Each track groove formed in the outer ring has flat sides. An arcuate ball rolling surface is formed at the outer-diameter side of each flat side of the track groove so as to smoothly connect with the flat side, so that the balls can smoothly circulate in the ball circulation groove.

  • Patent number: 5735745
    Abstract: A tripod member having three trunnions is inserted in an outer ring. A guide block is supported on each of the trunnions so as to be pivotable around the trunnion and is formed with a ball circulation groove at each side thereof. A plurality of balls are accommodated in the ball circulation groove so that part of the balls will protrude diametrically outwards from the ball circulation groove. The outer ring is formed in its inner surface with raceway grooves for guiding the balls in an axial direction. An arcuate ball rolling surface and a ball guide surface are formed at both sides of each raceway groove to guide the balls and prevent them from dropping out, respectively.

  • Patent number: 5374219
    Abstract: An outer ring for a vibration proof homokinetic joint has inner and outer casings. Vibration proof members made of an elastic material are disposed between the inner and outer casings. The outer casing is formed on an inner peripheral surface thereof with protrusions angularly spaced therebetween. The inner casing is formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof with grooves angularly spaced therebetween to receive the protrusions therein with predetermined gaps formed therebetween and extending in the direction of rotation of the joint. The vibration proof members are mounted between the adjacent protrusions and between the inner peripheral surface of the outer casing and the outer peripheral surface of the inner casing.
