Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sliding constant velocity universal joint used in automobiles and various industrial machines.
- a drive shaft for an automobile usually uses a fixed constant velocity universal joint on the drive wheel side (also called the outboard side), and uses a sliding constant velocity universal joint on the differential side (also called the inboard side). It is configured by connecting these two constant velocity universal joints with an intermediate shaft.
- a fixed constant velocity universal joint can take a large operating angle, but does not slide in the axial direction.
- a sliding constant velocity universal joint can be slid in the axial direction, but cannot take a very large operating angle.
- the fixed constant velocity universal joint used on the drive wheel side is set to have a maximum allowable angle of about 46° to 50° so that it can handle the angle at full steering.
- the sliding constant velocity universal joint used on the differential side is set to have a maximum allowable angle of about 23° to 30° so as to absorb the movement of the suspension.
- the maximum operating angle is usually reached when the suspension is in the fully extended full rebound state.
- the normal working angle the conventional normal working angle of the drive shaft of the current passenger car or the like is relatively small and is usually used at about 6°.
- SUVs which have a higher vehicle height than passenger cars, tend to have a large drive shaft angle (hereinafter referred to as the normal operating angle.
- the definition of the normal operating angle will be described later) when driving on flat ground, and the movement of the suspension tends to be large. It is in.
- a DOJ with a maximum operating angle of more than 25° and about 30° and a compact design has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

- the inventors of the present invention have found that the durability at a high normal operating angle (for example, about 10°) is higher than that at a conventional normal operating angle (for example, about 6°). I arrived at the guideline to ensure equality. Then, as points for setting the internal specifications of the sliding constant velocity universal joint, we focused on two factors, namely, the increase in the maximum operating angle and the increase in the normal operating angle, and set the internal specifications by fusing these two factors. The new idea of doing so led to the present invention.

- the ratio DT PCD /DS PCD between the pitch circle diameter (DT PCD ) of the linear track groove and the spline pitch circle diameter (DS PCD ) can be set to 2.25 to 2.40. desirable. Thereby, the track surface pressure can be suppressed while suppressing the outer diameter of the outer joint member.
- the ratio F/DS PCD of the offset amount (F) between the center of curvature of the spherical outer peripheral surface of the cage and the center of curvature of the spherical inner peripheral surface and the spline pitch circle diameter (DS PCD ) is 0.18 to 0.19. It is desirable to As a result, it is possible to suppress protrusion of the contact ellipse of the ball from the track groove and suppress the track surface pressure.
