Abstract
An intermediate bearing support mounting for a sectional drive line is disclosed. The intermediate bearing support includes a cushion housing with an antifriction bearing. A coupling part, which may be a coupling flange or a jaw of a universal joint having detachable bearing pads, is fitted in the antifriction bearing and has a splined cylindrical shank telescoping in an internally splined sleeve fixed on a tubular drive section. The coupling part has, opposite the cylindrical shank, a separable connection with another drive section of the drive line, which may either be a plate with a centering bearing surface and threaded fasteners or the jaw of a universal joint having detachable bearing pads. This arrangement reduces the overhang of the universal joint in relation to the bearing support.
