A method for producing an internal or external part of a torque-transmitting opposed track joint, such as a fixed constant velocity ball joint, in which approximately axially parallel extending track bases of the joint tracks have curvatures which deviate in their axial course from the curvatures of the ball contact lines. The method is characterized in that in a first step a perform with approximately axially parallel extending grooves having lateral flanks is produced, and in a second step the perform is formed into a final joint part whereby the lateral flanks of the grooves are just partially formed to achieve the ball contact lines.

Method for producing an internal or external part of an opposed track joint

A method for producing a torque transmission device such as a fixed constant velocity ball joint constructed as an opposed track joint in which the curvatures bases of the tracks of the joint deviate in their axial course from the curvatures of the ball contact lines. The method is characterized in that prior to the formation of a longitudinal profile of a joint component, the component is brought to an increased hardness by a hardening process and a diffusion layer is partially or completely removed in the region of the longitudinal profile.

A method for producing an annular element having an inner toothing, especially a sliding sleeve. An outlet ring element can be arranged in an extrusion device which includes an annular matrix element with an inner bore hole, a sleeve stamping device which is arranged therein and has first and second annular sleeve stamping elements which can be moved in relation to each other in the inner bore hole, and an inner stamping device having first and second inner stamping elements and first and second partial regions which are interspaced in the circumferential direction. When the inner stamping device is closed, the partial regions form cavities for producing the inner toothing. The outlet ring element is arranged between the first and second inner stamping elements and is measured in such a way that when closing the sleeve stamping device, material from the outlet ring element flows into the cavities for the formation of the inner toothing.
