  • Patent number: 8172690
    Abstract: In a constant velocity joint comprising an outer housing ring having an end wall with a journal and an inner surface provided with axially extending ball races and an inner ring member with outer ball races arranged in the outer housing ring and balls disposed in the ball races for the transmission of torque between the outer housing ring and the inner ring member, and a ball cage for retaining the balls in position in the ball races, a support ring is arranged in the housing ring between the end wall of the housing ring and the inner ring member for axially supporting the inner ring member during insertion of a shaft end into the inner ring member of the constant velocity joint.

  • Patent number: 8161623
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an articulated shaft structure for the transfer of torque from a transmission to a differential drive, including a connecting flange having a tube section, a shaft plate disposed between the connecting flange and a transmission output flange and forming a torsion element for accommodating some articulation of the connecting flange relative to the output flange, and a centering part extending from the connecting flange for aligning the articulated shaft relative to a transmission shaft, the connecting flange is formed integrally with the tube section by deep-drawing in follow-on tool the tube section and, in the same manufacturing step, punching openings into the flange, and deep-drawing the centering part and pressing it into the tube section.

  • Patent number: 6863443
    Abstract: A bearing including an inner ring an outer ring surrounding the inner ring with a radial clearance between the inner and outer ring, an annular inner supporting body disposed in the radial clearance, and an annular outer supporting body surrounding the inner supporting body circumferentially in a torsionally fixed manner and being displaceable with respect to the inner supporting body in an axial direction. The inner and outer supporting bodies join the inner and outer rings radially in a flexibly compliant manner.
