A system for connecting a shaft to a joint, and a corresponding method are provided, wherein a shaft journal embodied on the end of the shaft that is to be connected to the joint can be inserted into a recess of a joint connection. The aim of the invention is to be able to pre-assemble and axially align the shaft and the recess in a simple manner. To this end, the shaft journal and the recess are adapted to each other in such a way that the shaft journal can be displaced in the recess in an essentially weak manner in a first section Tof the insertion path E, and a large amount of force is expended for the displacement of the shaft journal in the recess in a section Tof the insertion path E.

System for connecting a shaft to a joint

A homokinetic joint includes an inner hub and an outer hub, wherein several pathways are associated together in pairs, wherein balls which are guided in a cage are received in order to transmit torque between the inner hub and the outer hub. A sealing arrangement includes a set of bellows and seals the homokinetic joint. The radially outer edge of the set of bellows is coupled to the outer hub and/or to a carrier housing engaging therewith. The radially inner edge is secured in a stationary manner on the inner hub.
